What Causes Pain And Swelling Of Scrotum After A Circumcision?

A 50-year old male (brother of a co-worker) was recently circumcised, because of infections surrounding the area. The surgery went well but, post op, his scrotum has swollen greatly and is very painful. He has been to the ER, where the staff told him it s just fluid, it should go down, but it hasn t. Unfortunately, he doesn t move around much, eats lots of salty things, which is not helping, of course. What should he do? Would wearing some sort of support in that area of his body be a help? Thanks! Best, Gloria
