A member asked:
Will the scrotum swell after herniorrhaphy?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually not: There should be no scrotal swelling after hernia repair. That may be a sign of infection or bleeding, or hydrocele. Check with your surgeon if this has occurred.

Usually should not: Unless hernia extends down into scrotum, or there is an associated hydrocele.
