Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HI, I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY ON JAN.29. HAD IT DONE ROBOTICALLY. FULL HYSTERECTOMY. FEELING BETTER AFTER RECOVERING FROM A NECROTIC UVULA DUE TO THE INTUBATION. HOWEVER, NOTICED SOME SLIGHT SWELLING ABOUT 1 1/2 FROM MY BELLY BUTTON. IT IS TENDER TO THE TOUCH. IS THIS SOMETHING I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT?
Hi. Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific. Noted your history of Hysterectomy by Robotics, recovering from necrosed vuvula due to incubation. But there is a tender swelling near belly button. The most likely cause is either a small hernia development through the post site although presenting from port but under the skin at a different position or can be a small hematoma that is being developed and getting infected. I would advise the following in such a situation. First of all consult your Surgeon so that a proper diagnosis can be done to as to the cause by clinical examination, ultrasound. And proper management done as per the diagnosis. Get this done asap.
