Hard/stiff Flaccid Penis Since The Surgery
I had laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (mesh implant) surgery one week ago. Since the surgery, my penis has intermittnently become stiff/hard while still in its flaccid state. Is this a normal occurrence due to internal swelling from the surgery ? If so, when can I expect for this to subside?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare magic
Yes it is likely to be due to congestion of pelvic veins post surgery and shall subside of its own in 2-4 weeks.
Relax, take care
