Hernia surgery followed by a hard lump in the scrotum seeking treatment?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower abdomen is very uncomfortable, and I also don't get morning erections anymore. Please ask if there is a lump in the scrotum after inguinal hernia surgery and seek treatment?

Doctor's answer:

There is also a swelling in the scrotum, which is usually an inguinal hernia. Once diagnosed, it needs to be treated surgically, such as through an inguinal hernia high ligation. After the surgery, if there is a hard lump in the scrotum area, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound to determine if it is due to the development of a nodule or inflammation causing fibrosis. If the ultrasound shows no abnormalities, it is important to pay close attention to any recurrence of the swelling and avoid strenuous exercise.
