Patient's question:
The baby's hernia surgery has been completed for thirteen days. The scrotum still seems slightly swollen, and there is something slightly rough and hard on the scrotum. There is also a hard lump at the incision site. When will the swelling go down after the hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally, swelling subsides within three or four days, and at the latest within a week. If it doesn't improve, an ultrasound can be done to check. In such cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly at a local hospital for examination and consultation. Rest and prevent recurrence. Follow medical advice strictly in all activities and medication. At the same time, maintain local dryness and hygiene. It is advised to wait for a period of time. If the scrotal swelling does not subside, scrotal incision and drainage surgery should be performed to remove the accumulated blood. After a few dressing changes, recovery can be achieved.
