I had right inguinal hernia and varicocele surgery with mesh on the right side about 3 months ago but I'm still having pain in the areas marked with green dots in the photo I attached - is this normal or should I be concerned about the pain continuing this long after surgery

While some pain after hernia and varicocele surgery is normal, persistent pain three months post-surgery, especially in the areas marked in your photo, should be evaluated by your doctor. Though pain can persist for a few months, lasting pain beyond that is considered chronic and may indicate complications like nerve damage or inflammation.

My dad's ultrasound shows his prostate is enlarged at 56x51x50 mm with a volume of 77.7 cc. The doctor suggested surgery, but I'm wondering if medication could work instead is the size too big for meds to help?

Large size prostate causes urinary symptoms but to decide for the surgery patients symptoms are more important then the size alone.So if he is suffering more surgery may help
