Hernia recurrence

[eagles6972]

Dear Community, I hope everyone is doing well. I hard a hernia repair end of May this year laparoscopic in the right inguinal side. Since then, food has been a bit tough to digest. For example, coffee, milk products. I don't know if it has to do with it. Now where the hernia used to be, it looks a bit swollen, and it's hard compared to the other side. Is that normal, or its just scar tissue. Finally, I also now have a hydrocele in the right testicle. My doctor says everything is fine, but I do not know since it hurts when I have sex or randomly. Anyone going through the same? Next week I will go to another surgeon for a second opinion. Thank you
