It is not unusual for scrotal swelling to take 3 or 4 weeks to resolve. Fluid may recur after aspiration of a hydrocele, but surgery usually is a permanent fix. If you're not sure of your postop status, see your urologist for evaluation.

It takes 6-8 weeks to things to normalize after surgery in the area. Wait a bit and wear a good scrotal supprt. you should be OK

Yes: if u have no CHF i.e. no fluid in ur lungs, do not take lasix, (furosemide) it will make u dehydrated and pass out. Just cut down ur fluid intake.
