A member asked:
What is the recovery time for surgery to correct a large hernia in his scrotum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usual course: Your surgeon should have covered this in depth with you. If he or she did not, see someone who will. Pain (or discomfort as we doctors call it), swelling and some bruising are all normal. The most intense portion lasts about three days. Everyone is a bit different, but most are back to nearly normal within a few weeks.
