This will depend on cause. At your age most common would be rusty arteries going to penis due to atherosclerosis. But sudden change after surgery suggests relationship. I would discuss with surgeon who knows what was done exactly and what the usual course is after their surgery in men like you. You did not mention it surgery was on both sides?

Assuming it was an inguinal hernia- this surgery will not cause your symptoms as the nerves controlling ejaculation are nowhere near the area. Pl see a Urologist
