What Causes Scrotum Mass Post Vasectomy?
I'm a 40 year old man who had a bilateral vasectomy done and now on the left side is a mass about 2cm x 3cm x 6cm extending into the scrotum above the testicle. It was really tender but not as much now after 2 courses of antibiotics. It's still there, what do I do?

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
You seems to suffer from-This could be resolved hematoma-post-vasectomy with infection and induration in it, lately/ or could be FB granuloma with infected stitch in it.
As the thing has resolved -after antibiotic, I would suggest you to take Tab Diclofen and Tab Chymotrypsin-for 2 weeks time with PPI like pantoprazole to counter drug induced gastritis.
Hope this should resolve the issue.
But if still persists, then FB grannulation -post Vasectomy should be suspected.
This would need surgical removal of FB,which would resolve the post-vasectomy mass once for all.
Consult Surgeon / Urologist,who would plan the treatment accordingly,after proper investigations.
Hope this would help you to plan further care of this complex illness of yours.
