Hey, I had this surgery last year. For me, the main testicular pain was mostly for the first 3-5 days, pretty sore. Then it became more like a dull ache for another week or so. It gradually faded after that. Follow your doc's pain meds schedule, it helps a lot.
It's normal to have some discomfort and pain after inguinal hernia surgery, especially in that area. Typically, the acute pain subsides within the first week, and then it's more of a lingering soreness for another 2-4 weeks. Just make sure to take your prescribed painkillers and don't overdo it with activity, okay?
Bhaiyya, after such an operation, body takes time to heal. My brother had this. He said for a few days, 5-7 days maybe, the pain was there, a bit strong. Then it slowly became less, like small discomfort for some more days. Listen to your doctor, they will tell you best.
After surgery, some pain is expected. The sharp pain reduces within a week. I found that light walking, as soon as the doctor cleared it, helped with blood flow and recovery, easing the dull ache which lingered for a couple of weeks. But seriously, only do what your surgeon advises!
Post-inguinal hernia surgery, testicular pain is a common side effect due to nerve irritation or inflammation. Acute pain typically lasts 1-2 weeks, gradually reducing to discomfort over several weeks to a few months. However, persistent or severe pain warrants immediate consultation with your surgeon to rule out complications.

My son had this procedure a few years back. He experienced significant pain for about a week, and then a mild ache for another two-three weeks. It's part of the healing process. Just be diligent with your medications and rest, and it will subside. Don't push yourself.
