Hello-
My husband just had an ileocolic resectioning last Thursday. We are in the hospital and he is doing ok. Today his testicles started swelling and the nurses attribute it to trauma in the area and fluid rentention (he was obviously worried). Did anyone else have this problem? If so, what did you do? Websites talk of letting it slowly reabsorb but I am worried that it will inhibit urinating and he will have to get the catheter back...
Also- for 12 year Crohn's patient, first surgery, laproscopic- grapefruit sized mass removed and fistula repaired (2 small sections of intestine removed)- any idea how long we'll be living in the hospital or advice?
How long did take similar cases to pass gas/BM or go home?
Thanks so much- I am sure many of you can relate to what we are going through. Glad to find this forum, it's nice to not feel so isolated.
Thanks in advance,
Tanya
