What Causes Lump And Pain On The Surgical Area?

hi! i HAD LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY IN 2010 FOR CYSTECTOMY, MYOMECTOMY AND DIAGNOSIS OF ENDOMETRIOSIS. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING PAIN ON OLD SURGICAL SITE EVERYTIME I GET MY PERIOD. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY ENDOMETRIOSIS GET IN TO MY ABDOMINAL WLL? I ALSO FEEL LUMP UNDERNEATH THE OLD SURGICAL SITE WHICH IS PERPENDICULAR TO MY UMBILICUS. I HAD SONOGRAM DONE AND THE IMPRESSION THEY GAVE IS POSSIBLE HEMATOMA. IS IT POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP HEMATOMA 4 YEARS AFTER SURGERY? THANKS.

Hi, thanks for sharing your health concerns with HCM!

If I were your treating Doctor for this case wound infection, I would come up with three possibilities, these include:
1.     scar endometriosis as you mentioned
2.     old hematoma or antibioma or incisional hernia as USG reports
3.     chronic wound infection due to suture granuloma, sinuses or atypical tuberculosis

Overall, this is benign and not to worry really much but you should know the underlying cause and for that you could go for FNAC test for confirmation!

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
