My husband had SSR last week where they had to make an incision into both testicles. He’s still in pain but the clinic said yesterday that it’s quite normal and to monitor over the next week. Today we noticed on one side there is a lump under the stitches and the testicle on that side isn’t dropping. I just wondered if anyone had experience of this and if it resolved with time? I was worried the testicle might be stuck to scar tissue or something.
Thanks

Thank you. Our clinic will see him but he wanted to leave over the weekend to see how things progress as still early days. I was just curious as to other people’s experiences x
My husband had the same and it resolved as part of the healing process. We changed dressings daily at night before bed and he didn't shower as such, strip washed instead with a soft warm jay cloth, no soap down there 😊. To begin with it was all red and angry and lumpy then by a week or so the wound started looking better and both testicles went back to their original size and shape.
Thanks so much for your response. Things have definitely got better. The swelling has gone down but I was just a bit worried about the lumps. Hopefully they will reduce with time x
