How long will it take testicular swelling go down after open hernia surgery. It has been a month and one testicle is still large?

Testicular swelling after open hernia surgery is a common occurrence. This is due to the trauma of the surgery and the subsequent inflammation that occurs. In most cases, the swelling will resolve within a few weeks. However, in some cases, it can take longer for the swelling to completely go down.

If you are still experiencing testicular swelling one month after your surgery, it is important to see your doctor. They will be able to assess the swelling and determine if there is anything else that needs to be done. In most cases, no further treatment is necessary and the swelling will eventually go down on its own.

Here are some things you can do to help reduce the swelling:

* Ice the area. Applying ice to the scrotum can help to reduce inflammation and swelling.

* Wear a supportive jockstrap. A jockstrap can help to support the scrotum and reduce pain and swelling.

* Elevate your scrotum. Elevating your scrotum can help to reduce swelling.

* Take over-the-counter pain relievers. Over-the-counter pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, can help to relieve pain and swelling.
