What Causes Swollen Penis Post Inguinal Hernia Repair?
I had a left inguinal hernia repaired two days ago. It was an open procedure. Had the same left hernia repaired 5 years ago,but that was done laporascopically. My scrotum and penis are experiencing significant swelling and are purple in color. Should I be concerned?
