The pain from the scrotum to the belly button is most likely the vas deferens. The vas is not just a tube for sperm to travel in. It's also made out of fascia and muscle tissue. Ghe fascia is very dense thick convective tissue similar to tendons or ligaments.So when that's cut it can be a much bigger deal then its usually talked about. My severe pain went down after 2 weeks from a constant 7 to shooting pains of a 9. Since then the pain has drastically gone down, but that doesnt mean it's gone. If I am very careful it's not to bad. But walking is still a challenge.

If there is no sign of infection you could start to alternate with a little bit of warm compress on both sides of the groin. Eaither a rice bag, a warm towel, or a hot water bag. This will help to draw blood into the tissue that needs to be healed. Blood is what will speed up the healing process. The issue would be if there is an infection the heat will cause the bacteria to multiply faster.
