Is It Normal To Have Pain In The Mesh After Hernia Surgery?
I had open hernia surgery 2 yrs. Ago. 3 yrs. Ago i had endometrial cancer & had complete hysterectomy. Just had my annual CAT scan & my gynocologist said theres what looks like fluid by the mesh from the hernia surgery. She wants me to see a general surgeon. I have nearly daily pain where the mesh is. Is this normal ? (She saw the same on last yrs. CAT scan). Is this something dangerous?

yes you seem to have a problem. the advice is correct.
The fluid collection around the mesh is not a good sign . It is either a reactinary fluid or infection leading to pus formation.
It needs to be examined by a gen. surgeon.
You may require a small operation to remove the fluid and close the wound.
Keeping it like this is dangerous and may lead to a spread of the infection
