A member asked:
How long for swelling in scrotum after hernia operation to go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: This depends on how long the surgery was or how large the hernia was before the surgery. Larger hernias may have more swelling initially after surgery. The swelling usually resolves over a few days, and sometimes over 2-3 weeks if it was a larger or complicated hernia repair.
