A member asked:

My scrotum is still grossly swollen 7 days after varicocelectomy. is this normal? i am now worried. please help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Post-op swelling: Not really. You should call the urologist and be examined. It sounds as if you may have a hematoma in the scrotum and this would need attention.

Dr Klauber and another doctor agreed
