What Causes Swelling In The Teaticle Post Vasectomy?
My brother-in-law just had a vasectomy. He became bruised all across the abdomen and below. His testicle(s) got larger than a softball. It is not 1 week post-procedure and the doctor has not removed the testicle. How common is this? Should they think about any further action? How depressed is he likely to get? Thanks

Hello,
It could be a hematoma due to blood collection after the surgery. In most cases it will resolve by itself in few weeks. You can go for an ultrasound scrotum to assess the severity of the disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
