Swelling after hydrocelectomy

Hi, i also had a hydrocelectomy about a month now, according to what i saw and what i heard from ppl who had the same propblem as me, some even had surgery about 35 years ago, thet still say the scrotum remains slightly swollen, it will reduce but it will not get back to its normal size at it was naturally, it will time longtime to reduce, it also depends on people's bodies, it will get smaller and will need to look closer to notice the swelling, any surgery in our body twist something, you will never gonna fell the same, eventhough you are healed but something is twisted in your body it does not matter how much you spent to get it done by a surgeon, operation is operation, it's a shock in human body. Talkijg about hydrocele, i still feel like something is big inside my scrotum, eventhough im healed and it looks much different than when there was hydrocele inside, but i still feel strange. It s a sad situation how much men get affected with this hydrocele.

I appreciate everyone's experiences with hydrocele surgery.  I am 70 and have had one for a year now.  I believe I will just continue to have it drained every 3 months or so.  Draining hasn't been a problem and not sure I could handle the mental effects of a failed surgery as I am still very active as a hiker and mountain climber as well as still sexually active.

I am 4 days into the post op and the testicle has come back to its original size and I don't know how to feel. Also, I was wondering if any of you guys could give me a tip for a speedy recovery!

I've read all the comments on this post first of all I I want to ask how are you doing now bro? I hope the swelling has subsided a little

I've had my hydroelectomy surgery done a week ago first few days went quite well although I've had real bit of uncomfort because I had a very itchy eczema on my scrotum and due to the jockstrap it irritated my scrotum and it is literally really dry flaky skin and cut up at a few places.

Now in order to soothe the itching I have scratched it a little bit. I have also been using E45 to try and calm the irritation but it is so difficult

I've been to my surgeon yesterday as Mira right testicle was swollen and my GP said it could be a haematoma my surgeon ruled it out saying if the pain increases then let me know otherwise I will see you in four weeks

So the pain has increased more but it's not actually on my testicle it's above near my abdomen and also radiates towards my right knee I have no idea what is going on I'm walking like a penguin I have 3rd year of university starting in 6 days and I cannot believe what I have done I should have not even attempted surgery after reading your comments it feels like something is definitely going to go wrong I cannot afford to lose time or health for that matter

Also looking to get married and I think I'm going to delay that as I do not want to drag another person with me on this sh**y journey off n u t problems.

As you I also have g e r d and it is on increase as I have been a little immobile.

Hope you get better soon if anyone has any advice for me should I go to to my surgeon again and tell him of the increased pain

why am I feeling pain and abdomen and right knee and thigh.

My father had this procedure done in December 2017.  It was horrific from day 1 - after we'd been told this is a 'routine surgery' and NO cause for concerns when his scrotum swelled up to the size of a LARGE softball - and would not subside.  The drain tube was removed 4 days post-op - however the swelling got worse and worse and worse.  Long story short - my father was back and forth for the next 4 weeks - the doctor RE-inserted the drain tube - still to no avail on the swelling.  Then hard lumps started forming and his penis began swelling as well.  Went back to dr and dr did emergency surgery the following day (1/3/18).  My father had to have his right testicle REMOVED, and has about a 4 inch incision across his scrotum closed with staples.  Also, they did about a 5 inch incision at his belt/belly line and that is also closed with staples.  He is in the hospital on mega strong antibiotics and is in miserable pain and on morphine.  This is so wrong.  I am thinking heavily about a lawsuit.  This has just been such a complete disaster and I feel so sorry for him.  (He is 70 years old ..) .... 

I'm 5 days post op now and I'm a bit worried as some fluid and blood keeps recurring from the incision. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worried about a possible infection.

Yikes! I need to have this surgery done.  My lefty is about the size of an egg now and hanging low. Very uncomfortable and heavy.  Doc recommends against surgery because it inst the size of a soft ball, but is more than happy to do it for me.  When I read things like this I get nervous.  I need to get this taken care of.  Im 36 and single and am becoming very apprehensive about dating recently, and im lacking adequate physical activity.  I cannot live like this, but I don't want to make things worse by getting surgery.  And on yet another hand I feel like it's just going to get worse anyways.  If I was 50 years old and married I probably wouldn't care as much.
