    1. Yes. Imaging may show a recurrence even if there is no examination finding.

    2. Testicular pain may be related to inguinal hernia. Also, antibiotic has anti-inflammatory effect. So if pain is improved on antibiotic, it may have been a bacterial infection or a mesh-related inflammatory problem. If pain is cured with the antibiotic, then most likely that’s infectious.

    So, you’re saying it could have been a testicular bacterial infection ’caused’ by a recurrent hernia? And would the ejaculation trigger be hernia related? Somehow the hernia causing inflamation the vas deferens? Similar to vas deferens pain post hernia repair?
