It's not the coexistence with the testicles that causes the swelling and bruising, but rather the trauma to the body, scrotum included, from the surgery and inflation tests while on the table.

Below is the photo I took at 6 days after my surgery, two days later than you today.

Unfortunately swelling is excess fluid in the tissue as a result of damage from surgery and because of gravity it tends to collect in the scrotum. I would keep horizontal and ice the area, you can also use a towel to support the scrotum so that it isn't so dependent.
I am 10 days out and still icing majority of time. But we have not inflated since surgery, one day post op surgeon did deflate some due to swelling.
The body takes time to heal but just think about the reward at the end.
Good Luck to You.
