Have A Lump After A Surgery

It has been 11 weeks now after my surgery, and i still have a pea sized lump, and hardening of the vein above the lump. Is it serious ? i have revised my doctor twice about the lump, the first time was after two weeks from the surgery, and all they said is to put heat compression. I have done it a few times, but the lump is still there. Also the hardened vein and lump hurts if touched.

Hi, as your symptoms indicate, there must be some thrombosed vein or kind of infection that should be treated immediately!

However, sometimes it could be some healing scar with fibrosis and it would cure itself with time / local physiotherapy /mobilisation.

You may go for an FNAC test for confirmation and revert back to us!

all the best!
