A member asked:

I had ingruial hernia surgery on my right side about 4 weeks ago it feels like a hard lump is in the spermacidle cord and it's swollen will it go away in it's on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

sometime there is reactive swelling of the spermatic cord or some blood there. It gets absorbed slowly over about 8-12 weeks. You should be fine. Keep yor apponitments with the surgeon and let him/her know
