What are the Possible Complications of this Procedure?RE? |
The risk of a complication is small and most men will usually only get some mild discomfort or aching for a couple of days which can be relieved by taking aspirin or paracetamol. However, despite every precaution, complications can follow any operation. The commonest complications are:- · Infection - which usually causes increased tenderness and there may be a cloudy discharge from around the dissolvable stitches in your scrotum. · Haematoma - (collection of blood) within the scrotum. This will usually cause a swelling and deep purple discolouration, but the risk of this is minimised by you wearing firm supportive underwear night and day for 48 hours after you operation. Both of these complications are likely to cause pain initially, usually within 2-4 days after the procedure. If you suspect that either of these problems is developing you should contact the Reproductive Medicine Unit or your own GP. |
