Question
Hello doctor,
I have operated on inguinal hernia for 10 days. However, I see that the scrotum is still slightly swollen, touching it feels like there is a part of intestine or a tube in the scrotum. What did the doctor advise me to do? Is the scrotum still swollen after surgery for inguinal hernia? I would like to thank you.

Hello,
With the question “After surgery for inguinal hernia, is the scrotum still swollen, is it okay? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Usually 10 days after surgery for inguinal hernia, the edema has not gone away, you may be mistaken for the bowel loops. In your case, you need to see a specialist again and do an ultrasound to diagnose the exact cause.
If you still have questions about inguinal hernia, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
