Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have pain in my testicles and feel very uncomfortable. After a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. I would like to consult about what to do with the swelling in my right testicle after right inguinal hernia surgery.Doctor's answer:
This is a relatively common postoperative complication, which is the formation of a scrotal hematoma, mainly caused by capillary leakage. This condition generally resolves on its own within ten to fifteen days. In the first week, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities and may be appropriate to use some hemostatic drugs. After five days, infrared light can be used to illuminate the area to promote blood resolution. Male diseases can be cured, but the treatment period is usually long, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
