Testicle attached to scrotum

Like some other, post hydrocelectomy patients, I too, have the obvious testicle, now attached to my scrotum.  It is very restrictive and confining.  Is this a common procedure? Why is this done?  Can it be reversed?

The incision of the surgery was cut about, 1 1/2 inches long, on a vertical cut.  It is at the base of my penis and is restrictive to intercourse, as the testicle is now so close to my penis base. Once again, can this be corrected?


I've attempted numerous calls to the surgeon, with no response.

Thanks

Hi,

I was in a similar situation after having a hematoma removed after a vasectomy. When I asked the urologist he told me that success was not promised and that I should be prepared to have the testicle removed. A year later after getting an infection in the same testicle I underwent emergency surgery to have the testicle removed.

I think that you are better of to put up with a fixed testicle.

God bless,

Ron

Hi,

I have the same problem, The testicle size after hydrocelectomy is kinda 4 times the size of the normal testicle, and it is attached to the scrotum. I asked the surgeon and he said it is a normal adhesion and it will disappear with time.
Do you have a large testicle as well after the surgery? or it is the same size as the other one?
It is 3 weeks after the surgery, all the bruising has gone, except the testicle still look large.

good luck
