Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. As per the history your have provided, surgical abortion may not be directly related to the lump that has formed. This is a very very rare occurrence and hence needs to be addressed immediately by a CT scan of the abdomen and the abdominal wall to see if this is hematoma that is spreading from the operation site or a hernia that was not recognized and so on. Pain in abdomen that is spreading to the left lower quadrant can be due to the same reasons. Further management may be an emergency matter hence stop anything orally till advised by your Doctor or nurse. Take pan-bed rest till well diagnosed.
