Why does the incision hurt after a nerve block?

Patient's question:

I have had a nerve block for 20 days, and now there is a hard lump at the incision site with some pain. What is the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, although the wound of the penile dorsal nerve block is relatively small, the depth of the surgical tissue is still quite deep. Therefore, there may be a hardening phenomenon at the wound site after the surgery. However, generally speaking, if the wound heals well, the hardening phenomenon does not require special treatment. It will gradually soften over time. Additionally, it is best to avoid sexual activity for the first 45 days after the surgery.
