Could The Lump On Hysterectomy Incision Area Be A Hernia?

I had a total hysteractomy with a vertical incision 2 weeks ago. There is a hard lump under the top part of the incision below the belly button. The nurse looked at it and says it s likely scar tissue, but isn t it a little soon for scar tissue. It only hurts if I push on it. Could it be a hernia? Peggy

Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Subcutaneou collection of the sero-sanguinous discharge at the lower end of the incision / or it could be a gaping of the Wound as a whole, which may start at the lower end of the incision.
USG Study and debridement of the wound for any Foreign body of the stitch inside with sero-sanguinous collection with it.
Possibility of hernia is very less,from the facts of your query.
Second Opinion from Surgeon / Gynec doctor would resolve this issue.

Hope this would help you to plan further treatment with your family and specialist doctors there.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.
Good Day!!
