Swelling after hydrocelectomy

Hi all , just to update i had my surgery last October , post surgery period was not bad , had some pain but for me was normal , I didn't put any straps or joggers , start drive the car after 3 day's after surgery , my surgeon advised me to keep it extremely clean..

Like a feeling ( my sack was removed) in beginning i have feel it like the nut is too close without liquid how is normal...

I visit the surgeon and they says its normal to be sensitive and a bit bigger and different from before, now 6 months after surgery the size is bigger like 2 times , i mean the nut inside is bigger.. now is normal like the other one when i touch it , is pretty much like my good one 😃 The most important is my wife is pregnant so there is no affect on my productivity...

My advice is don't be afraid boys, just be sure your surgeon is good one and have do that for many times.. thats my opinion:)

Greetings Georgi

Thank you everyone for the replies. Its nice to have a place to have questions and hear from others experiences from this type of surgery.

I had surgery 6 days ago and I'm black, blue and swollen everywhere. Got lots of pain, hard to stand more than a minute so in bed most the time. Tried Oxycodone and Tramadol but makes me feel sick. I'm a bit worried and did not expect this surgery to be so horrible.

Hey pf7 I just had the surgery on 09/03/2020 and here it is 10/12/20, I have been using ice wearing a jock strap and the swelling has went down a little bit from what it was and the stitching is practically almost faded but I was wondering the same thing. I will be seeing my doctor in a few day and I will also let you know.

I am 45+. I actually didn't notice I have hydrocele until about 4 weeks ago when I visited hospital on my own requesting for wider test. I had earlier read it online that it is good for someone to check himself/herself once in a while . Though hydrocele was not part of the recommended tests to me but the Dr discovered abnormalities in the size of my left testicle when he was trying to scan me for prostate.

I told my wife and but couldn't make anything about it. I have to inform two of my cousins ( male nurse and Sociologist) who were agemate to open theirs and compare with mine. It was revealed mine was bigger than theirs. I later thought of how some of female secret admirer colleagues in workplace used to joke me that any lady I handle will regret because my thing is bigger and I will be surprised how they got to know the size of my private part.

After confirmation from my cousins, I rushed to hospital with my wife and the Doctor asked me to do ultrasound which confirmed that I have hydrocele.

I moved to my station where I work almost 209km from my family ( I am a fortnight husband) and a particular hospital that have my health records to do a second opinion test. Same result but the fluid was also collected and tested with no trace of infection.

I was asked to see Urologist who later scheduled operation for me.

I did the hydroceletomy on 14th October 2020 on the affected left scrotum . The surgery was successful with no pain and my eyes were opened chatting with the team. 45cl of fluid and hydrocele sac removed and shown to me. Only my left scrotum was given anesthesitic. It took less than one hour. I was told to go home that but decided to take one night rest at hospital because I have not done any operation before and my family is not with me.

Post surgery looks of the left operated is scary. It is now harder than before it was operated and have egg shape. Though, it didn't drop down like pr-operated one.

I visited the Doctor 3 days after the operation for redress. The Doctor confirmed it was healing nice and the stitches tread will dissolve by it self and asked me to remove the dress after 3days .I did and visited the hospital to see the Doctor about the new shape and he told me it will soon change. Almost 17days now!!! Pls what is wrong with my

Update on my hydrocelectomy:

Had procedure on 5/28/20, it's now 11/14, almost 6 months after, and I still have swelling, back and forth. It seems like it comes and goes throughout the day and, it especially flares up just before I have a BM. Strangest thing. No pain or anything. It seems like it swells up to near its original size before the op, and then it loosens up, and does this back/forth.

I had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago and was told it was nothing, and that it's just scar tissue swelling so I don't know.

Anyone else have swelling past 6 months?

Hi everyone,

I was diagnosed with Epididymal Cysts 12 years ago.

Had further scan last year and they said they had doubled in size (3cm, 3cm & 5cm), they also said there was a Hydrocele.

It was all giving me discomfort and was hurting at work.

Operation last week to remove everything and when I came around the surgeon told me that he could NOT FIND ANY CYSTS, he said he had removed 140ml of fluid from the Hydrocele.

8 days later and my testicle is the size of a large orange, still bruised and very tender. I have a 2" wound which has been stitched well.

Scan reading this page has filled me with trepidation as I'm supposed to be back at work next week.

Thanks for reading
