What Causes Lagging Of Scrotum After Vasectomy?

I just had a vasectomy last Wednesday and my scrotum seems to be hanging lower than normal. It is at times uncomfortable, especially when trying to roll over when I am sleeping. Is this normal? Will it go back to they way they were before the surgery?

Good day and thank you for being with healthcare magic! Yes this is because of inflammation after surgery. I would expect it to become normal after 6 weeks post surgery.

In the meantime make sure you are resting it and no strenuous activities until it becomes normal.

I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily and please consider a 5 Star rating for my answer. Thank you very much.
