A member asked:

Bilateral open inguinal hernia repair 7 days ago. now have a small semi hard lump attached to the top of my right testicle that pushes out into the skin of my scrotum. non tender. lots of swelling and purple bruising to the right side of scrotum. ?

Ice!: This may represent a hematoma (collection of blood gravity has pulled down into the scrotum), or a seroma—just a collection of tissue fluid following the ‘trauma” of surgery. I’d recommend wearing an athletic supporter and, when relaxing, using ice packs (a bag of frozen peas or a bag of niblets corn work great) two or three times daily for 15 minutes to reduce swelling. Speedy recovery!
