Numbness after procedure

[melrose]

I recently had an operation similar to radical orchiectomy (same incision execpt the doctor took a biopsy and saved the testicle), it has been 16 days and I still have a significant amount of numbness above and below the incision. Is this normal and if so how long does it take to go away?
There is no indication of infection, No reddness and only slightly sore.

Thanks

Yes, it will probably feel numb for at least a few months.

Congratulations on not having cancer!

Hi,

Its probably nothing to worry about - Im still numb below the incision at the top of my leg 9mths after the surgery. The urologist told me its from slight nerve damage during the surgery. Might improve over time, might not, but nothing to be concerned about.

Hope that helps,

Steve
