What Causes Swelling Below Surgical Incision Of Femoral Hernia?
I had a femoral hernia operation about 10 days ago, 2 days ago I noticed swelling just bellow my incusion. It looks like another hernia. I have no pain or discomfort in this area and do not have a fever. I live in Cambodia, where I received the opperation and am worried something went wrong during surgery. It is very hard to get info from the doctors here and I would like to know what would cause this swelling and is it normal.
