Urologist,  's  Response
Hello Mario and welcome to HCM.
Well, i can understand your concern.
As an Urologist, i can advise you that, similar cases do occur after a TURP(Prostate surgery). You need to keep the scrotum well supported so as to elevate it. That helps in reducing the swelling, caused by inflammation inside. If possible, rest for another two weeks, will help in resolving the pain and swelling ,along with the medication you're taking.
Hope your doubts are cleared. You can contact me by name if needed.
