Urology Question. Post bilateral verecocele
It's been 8 days since my operation, and the swelling is very much still there. My concern is a hardness that has formed around my left testical, I'm putting ice on it but yet it's still there and it's tender to touch. Should I be worried or just wait it out. Please someone answer I live alone and don't have any family taking care of me.

Hello,
After a varicocelectomy, some bruising, swelling, and oozing of the wound should be expected. It is very common to have bruising extend onto the shaft of the penis and swelling is a normal part of the healing process as well. As a general guideline, if the wrinkles of the scrotum can be seen and appreciated, then the swelling is within a reasonable level.
You can provide support to the scrotum by wearing an athletic supporter, apply ice to the scrotum, take warm baths if there are signs of inflammation, while lying down, place a rolled towel under your scrotum or try over-the-counter pain relievers, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
If the swelling increases or persists then get an evaluation done from your operating surgeon.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
