When can the swelling go down after a testicular cyst surgery?

Patient's question:

I've had surgery for eight days now, and my wound is almost healed, but I've noticed a hard lump next to my testicle. It hurts a bit when I press it. I don't know what the reason is and need assistance. What kind of medicine can I take? When will the pain be relieved?

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, the symptoms you mentioned are generally expected to subside within two weeks after surgery.
Suggestions: Based on your description, it is unclear whether the sutures used in your surgery were absorbable or non-absorbable. It could be that the internal wound was cleaned during the surgery. You may want to consult the surgeon again for further advice.
For patients with testicular cysts, timely treatment can help reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect your overall health. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life, avoiding prolonged sitting. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
