I recently had a vasectomy. The day after i awoke to a swollen
scrotum. It was swollen to the size of a cantelope. Now 5 weeks
later I still have swelling and hardened blood inside that my
doctor informes me will take at least 3 or more months to dissapate.
The doctor treated it initially by waiting a few days and then
removing the single sucher and allowing the area to bleed/drain.
this lasted 3 days then closed. He then made another incision and
inserted a tube fashioned out of very flimsy-soft rubber. this came
out the next day.He informes me that this is the first time in his
30+ years of practice that this has happened to any of his patients.
I am still in constant pain and now severe itching too. I have searched
and searched for information on my condition and have found no
matches of this severity. I beg for input/assistance.
regards.
