[|Human|] My husband had an aortic dissection 9 days ago and had emergency surgery to replace the ascending aorta and valve. He is 42 years old. He was released from the hospital two days ago and is recovering well. Swelling in his arms and hands are gone. Swelling in his legs and feet are improving each day. His scrotum has significantly swollen with no pain. Is this a side effect of the surgery? Will it subside? Anything to be immediately concerned about?
[|AI|]  Hello, dissection of ascending aorta after correction will not cause swelling in scrotum. Scrotal swelling is part of the swelling in legs and other parts of the body. As it is the most depend on portion of body during both sitting and standing hence its last to go, As soon as the swelling in lower kegs will subside the scrotal swelling too with decrease.  Don't worry about the same, give it some time. If its painful because of the street in pain, scrotal support can be used. Regards Chat Doctor.
