A member asked:

Two weeks ago i had surgery for a left inguinal hernia and hydrocele (marsupialized). the left testicle is now positioned at the top of the scrotum. will it drop into the normal position later?

Maybe: The wound is still healing and there is a lot of inflammation present two weeks out from surgery. It may loosen up and drop with time. It will probably be better after 6 weeks or so, but i would wait 3-4 months before worrying too much.

It should : Feel free to pull it down as well. Doesn't sound like anything is wrong, but be sure to ask your surgeon when you see him/her for your postop visit.

Maybe: You may just be experiencing swelling that has caused the retraction on the testicle. It should drop back into place. If it hasn't recovered by around 6 weeks post-op, see your surgeon. Btw, you should call him with your concerns.
