Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Should I Consult My Doctor As I Am Having Blood In Scrotum After A Hernia Operation?
Had a hernia operation last Thursday. Repaired old hernia and found two more behind it. Have amesh patch. In allot of pain, black and blue and have blood in the scrotum. Should I contact my doctor immediately and go back in to see him. This is the 6th day
This is completely normal and you should not be worried. It is always that hematoma accumulates after hernia surgery and it may take a few weeks to resolve. please, keep your testicles elevated, rest and take painkillers. Also, you can apply heparin gel to facilitate hematoma absorption.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
