A member asked:

Will loss of sensation in parts of penis and scrotum caused by unresolved hematoma from scrotal surgery 37 days ago resolve as the hematoma abates?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Should: This should resolve. Typically the pressure from the fluid causes the nerve dysfuntioin. As long as the nerve was not damaged or cut I would expect your symptoms to resolve. Make sure you recheck surgeon if fluid persists in scrotum.
