Hello,
It is unlikely that the hydrocele has recurred if you had got the surgery done few days back. It looks like the swelling is due to the surgery itself. Bruising and swelling may be troublesome, particularly if the hydrocele was large. The swelling may be as large as the hydrocele. The swelling may take four to six weeks to settle down. Close fitting Jockey-type underpants are useful and for this you can consult your urologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
