Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
It may take 4-6 weeks till hematoma is resorbed back to blood. ALso, some segree of swelling may persist due to hematoma orginasing and scarring. If there will be delay in this healing then you should do ultrasound and have repeated punctures if necessary. Also, it is advisable to keep testicles elevated as much as possible when laying down to facilitate venous blood flow.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
