Hi all I am now 9 days post Op and so happy and glad at what I have had done but I do have a problem it feels like I have grown the right nut back there is a very painfull lump in the right hand side of my scrote. My cuts were in my groin not my cack so I have no idea what it is apart from its very painfull my GP has given me so antibyotics just in case I am back at hospital in a month for a check up but may have to go sooner. Has anyone else had the same, what is it what can I do? I am wearing a jock strap which is helpping.

I can put up with the pain because the smile on my face is far bigger.

Thanks in advance Martin.

I'm guessing it's a hemotoma. Is it irregular shaped?

I had one of those after I was castrated, but mine was done transscrotally.

I had the same thing after my lingual removal six months ago. You have a hematoma. Mine was the size of a 60 watt light bulb, and painful as hell. After 6 weeks, I convinced the doc the hot water baths and wearing womens bikini bottoms for compression were doing nothing. He went in thru my sack and removed it and an abscess. and I ended up in the hospital for 3 days with a catheter. What an experience. He left the hole in my sack open to heal from the inside. Holy Moly, was that an experience! it had to be packed with gauze soaked in saline for 2 months until it closed. Now I have a shriveled wad of scrotum skin and a scar that is 4 inches long and ugly. But the mass was removed, thank God, and no pain except for the odd ingrown hair, which I pulled out today. I never had so much pain in my life.

The hematoma is supposed to shrink, but in my case it did not. Go to your doc and insist something be done. I do not wish that pain on my worst enemy.

Accept for the ugly wad of skin and scar, things are much better. And the bikini bottoms are so comfy now... and I love my ball-less body!

I am only 9 days post Op so I will give it a little longer then call the urologist, I want my scrote removing and will get it done as soon as I can who knows if what you say is the case may it will be sooner then I thinhk, I find it a bit starage as everything was pulled up through my groin and no cuts to my scrote at all so I dont know how this has happened?

I to love my ball less body.

Thanks

It doesn't matter whether they were removed through the groin -- the testes were cut off. Now the severed artery is leaking blood and you've got a balloon of blood in there. It is possible that it heals on its own -- definitely don't squeeze it, pull on it, or let it move around because you need the blood to clot and healing to be sufficiently strong to prevent further bleeding. If it does heal, the balloon of blood then has to be reabsorbed by the body which can take months.

Anyway, it isn't the scrotum that's bleeding, it's the severed vascular connections. Also, it feels hard because it builds up a lot of pressure.

The other things it can be are hydrocele (basically same thing but with fluid from your abdomen leaking in instead of blood) or infection (i.e. pus build up) but in that case it would probably be tender and you'd be getting other infection symptoms like fever.

In all these cases, you should probably get it looked at. They'll do a scrotal ultrasound and know exactly what it is.
