A member asked:
I had a varicocele surgery done 5 days ago and i think it's healing alright but now there is a painless dark red, bruised like spot that's a little swollen on the top of my penis at the base. what is this?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may watch and wait. If the swelling is subsiding, it may just be part of the healing process. If you get a discharge, the swelling gets larger, you develop fever or pain, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!
