A member asked:
My penis is shorter after hernia surgery using a mesh. will this problem correct itself. can someone please give me a real answer back. ?

Possibly swelling: This may be due to postoperative swelling around the base of the penis and in the scrotum and should resolve with time. Have never seen this be a long term problem. As always, check with the surgeon who did the operation if it persists.
