How Long Will The Scrotum Take To Heal After Hydrocele Surgery?
I had a hydrocele procedure and I was just wondering how long it took for the scrotum to get back to normal. It was a good size hydorseal so I have a lot of extra skin down there. I am also sensitive to the touch so how long might it be before someone touching my scrotum might not cause me to jump.

Hello
Thanks for query.
You have undergone surgery for hydrocele .Normally the testis is swollen after surgery and takes 3-4 weeks to come to its normal size.
Use scrotal support so as prevent getting pain on touch.
Continue taking antibiotics like Augmentin and anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily for 3 weeks .

Hello and welcome to hCM.
You've not mentioned how long back you had your surgery.Also, if you're on any other medication.
As you suggest, you had a large hydrocele,it varies in each person.
There's no fixed time period for healing of the wound. You must be taking some pain killers, which may be continued , till the pain subsides.
If you've any other doubts, you may contact me for an expert opinion as an Urologist.
