A member asked:

2 months after bilateral lap. inguinal hernia repair, i feel my erection twisted to the right, and right test hangs higher than usual. is it related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: If the angulation of the penis is severe, it could represent peyronie's disease. While it appeared after a lap inguinal hernia repair, the problem is in the shaft of the penis. I don't think the repair is causative. I would see a urologist to find out more. One testis hanging higher is normal.

Dr Bennett agreed
