Brief Answer:
No need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If this was a large hernia, testicle swelling is a normal thing. There may some fluid appear in the scrotum (hematoma). As it is 2 weeks after the surgery, no need to worry at this point. This is a very early stage of healing.
The alarming symptoms are fever, pain, redness of the scrotum, painful testis when palpating it.
If you have any of this symptoms, you should consult your surgeon and have it checked with an ultrasound.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
