It's due to post operative irritation of nerves and inflammation of tissues
Usually not common after Laparoscopic repair..
But better avoid strenuous exercises and physical activity for atleast 2-3 months..Skin healing is faster and inner muscles soft tissues take much more time than this..
So better use binders like trauss post operative ly (mostly for open ones)
Next Steps
Better do ultrasound scrotum if testicle heaviness persists torsion is also common in young ones and is not due to postop issues
Health Tips
Avoid strenuous exercises and physical activity for atleast 2-3 months..

Postoperative discomfort after early resumption of physical/sexual activity is not uncommon.
Pain or heaviness in the testicles can result from strain, minor swelling, or irritation of the surgical site or surrounding nerves and tissues.
However, persistent or worsening pain must be checked to rule out complications like:
1.Recurrence of hernia
2.Hematoma or fluid buildup
3.Infection
4. Testicular involvement (e.g., referred pain or rare vascular issues)
Next Steps
1.Rest and avoid any strain or sexual activity until cleared by your surgeon.
2.Use scrotal support (tight underwear or scrotal suspensory).
3. Get a scrotal and groin ultrasound (USG) to rule out any complications.
4. Follow up with your operating surgeon or a general surgeon urgently if the pain increases or other symptoms appear (fever, redness, swelling, testicular firmness).
