hard lump near the top of testicle after full recovery from hernia repair and hydrocele surgery? what could it be? i do not think it is swelling

Question

I had inginal hernia and hydrocele surgery almost a week ago and my testicle is dry itchy and flakey any reason why?

Answer 1

Scar/blood clot: Probably scar tissue related to the suture material, the normal healing process, and/or a blood clot. Probably not dangerous. See your surgeon for an exam to be sure.

Answer 2

Need to check: You should have that evaluated with a doctor's exam and an ultrasound, to make sure it is not a testicular cancer. Since you have had previous surgery it may just be scarring, but regardless you should have it evaluated to be safe.

Answer 3

Very Few: While laser eye surgery (lasik, prk) is very safe, there can rarley be complications that may affect vision. Most commonly, the eye may not achieve perfect vision, and an enhancement may be needed later. Dry eyes can occur and last for several months, and small abrasions may be present for a few days. More rarely, surface skin can sometimes grow under the flap, causing blurred vision.

Answer 4

See specialist: A podiatrist or orthopedist who treats ankles should be able to evaluate and offer treatment options.

Answer 5

Have it : Re- evaluated by a doctor. X-rays should be taken, and options can then be discussed with you.

Answer 6

Sequelae: The liking underlying source of the pain is probably the injury that necessitated the surgery, rather than the surgery itself. It is time to see a doctor for a complete evaluation.

Answer 7

Depends on u & type: This depends on the type of surgery done and what condition you are in at the time of surgery and whether there were any complications with the surgery. For an outpatient microdisectomy, it can range from activity restriction for several weeks and some home exercises to a full fledged physical therapy program of at least 6 weeks with a more involved surgery like a multilevel fusion.

Answer 8

Varies: It depends completely on the nature of the surgery performed. Some of the minimally invasive surgeries we perform have little or no down time. Other, much more extensive surgeries, may have recovery times that extend several months. Thank you for your question.

Answer 9

You need to ask the : Doc who did your surg as that doc knows how everything went and u didnt say what type of surg you had, laparoscopy, robot open? And did you have any problems after like bleeding or infection, etc. Or none, so call you surgeon and ask him or her, and don't go sue the doc unless there was really something that happened or was done that was below the standard of care so get a 2nd opinion if neces.

Answer 10

No: A boil is an infection from an organism on the skin. There are also glands that can become occluded and these sebaceous glands will drain a malodorous thick material but they are not always infected. See your doctor for treatment but not related to eggs.

Answer 11

It's a Myth: A boil is most of the time an infected cyst under the skin. It must be drained from all the pus under very clean ( aseptic) conditions, and most of the time needs an antibiotic to be taken . We are concerned about MRSA ( serious infection), so i recommend to be seen by a doctor , who will do the procedure in the office, under local anaeasthesia and probably take cultures of the wound if necessary.
