PAIN after HERNIA: Surgery persists ~6-8% of patients most often related to scar tissue irritating nerves. It's common in younger pts ; in those with significant pain before surgery. Certain activities including ejaculation can cause/increase the discomfort. Treatment is usually conservative with pain management ; physical therapy. Surgery is limited to those with severe pain. Start with an exam by your surgeon.

Possible.: The open repair nowadays include using mesh, very often is ine the form of a cone, the vas deferns is in that area , it lifted withe rst of the spermatic cord with a penrose tape and it lies over the mesh, this could cause scaring that would include the vas which carries the ejaculate and i might get narrowed causing the pain.

Not really : I'm sorry this is happening. Groin pain a known possible consequence of this surgery. Most surgeons will not operate on just pain -too much risk (and can make it worse) . A neuroma is often the cause, or a nerve impinged by a suture inside. Most imaging will not help define anything. Hope it gets better.
