I was operated for hydrocele four years ago but there's still swelling in my same testicle post surgery. what could be done now?

Question

Hard lump near the top of testicle after full recovery from hernia repair and hydrocele surgery? What could it be? I do not think it is swelling

Answer 1

Go back: And see your urologist or surgeon for an exam to see what is going on.

Answer 2

Repeat surgery: You could have a redo hydrocelectomy either by your original urologist or get second opinion from another urologist if hydrocele still bothers you.
