Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi guys

I had my Hydrocele repair 8days ago. The problem I have is the operation was carried out on my left testicle which use to hang lower then the right one but since the op it has not dropped or moved position at all and is causing great discomfort. Its staying high.

    rizwan, 

       It might be that the swelling, or the scar tissue formed after the operation, is where your problems are coming from.  Give the healing process more time.  Of course, call your Doctor if you feel that all is not right.  Every one has a different healing experience.
