What causes pain during erection after inguinal hernia?
Patient: I had an inguinal hernia and after surgery my right testis and testicular artery have become hard and stiffened. It also has lots of fluid around it. Its been almost two weeks since the operation and it hurts when I get an erection and the sack is up tight. Cause ? Solution ? Is it something serious? Doctor: Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forumIn Short: It takes time to heal and to gain normal ability to have erection.Explanation: As you have undergone surgery recently,it takes time for healing. Pain may be there for sometime. If pain is there then erection may cause further pain.                  So,take anti inflammatory drugs as prescribed by your doctor and wait for some more days, you will be back to normal. If you have still swelling or any discharge visit your doctor immediately.
