Dr. Towfigh and others – tightness/heaviness after 8 months – tissue repair
I had a tissue repair (most similar to Bassini) about 8 months ago with Dr. Belyansky. I continue to have heaviness and tightness in the area. I also have some testicular sensitivity/soreness. It’s been this way since the repair (didn’t just start several months later or anything). Wondering if this can or will improve at all over time as scar tissue and remodeling change over the months and years to come. I have read sometimes it can take internal scar tissue up to a couple of years to mature.
As a reminder, the tissue repair came after a robotic mesh placement and then robotic mesh removal (the latter was also Belyansky). So I have lots going on. And likely some of the sensations were already present from the original mesh surgery plus removal. I know it’s not typical to continue to have these sensations this long after a successful tissue repair with no other complicating factors.
I also think I have some PTSD from everything and have always been quite sensitive to pain and discomfort. Considering SSRIs for a while to see if I can shut the intrusive thoughts down and heightened sensitivity. When I am relaxed and not obsessing about it, it tends to improve.
Thanks
