Is testicle pain after appendectomy normal at 14?
Patient's Query
I am 14 years old. I had an appendectomy on 12 December, and my stitches were removed around day 8–9. Since about day 6–7 after surgery, I’ve been feeling intermittent discomfort and heaviness in my right testicle and groin. The pain is not constant; it comes and goes, sometimes dull and sometimes sharp, lasting a few seconds to a couple of minutes, and it improves when I lie down. I don’t have fever, redness, swelling, vomiting, or severe constant pain. The testicle sometimes feels heavier or firmer, especially when standing or moving. I’m able to walk and go to school. I’m worried and anxious about it and want to know if this is normal post-surgery healing or nerve-related pain
Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar
After an appendectomy, it's not uncommon to experience some discomfort in the groin or testicle area. This could be due to a few things, like the position you were in during surgery or even some nerves getting a bit irritated. Since you're not having any fever or severe pain, that's a good sign. To help ease your mind, I'd recommend mentioning this to your gastroenterologist during your follow-up visit. In the meantime, try to take it easy and avoid any heavy lifting.
