Had LAVH For Uterine Cancer. Swelling On The Left Side. Need Surgery?

I had a LAVH about two years ago for uterine cancer. Since then I have an ever increasing "fatty deposit" on my left side and in recent months one on the right side. They are located above the scars from the port entry. They bother me alot but doctors say they are a cosmetic issue. How large do they have to get to be a medical concern? Secondly, my blatter has also dropped and I am having frequency issues especially at night. What are my options, and are surgical solutions successful?

Hi,
You have mentioned that you had uterine cancer treated by LAVH. What was the stage of the disease? was there any adjuvant treatment offered? very early uterine cancer with favorable histology needs no adjuvant treatment otherwise radiation treatment is the mainstay of therapy in almost every uterine cancer patient unless they are at very early stages. Now the fat deposition is definitely a cosmetic problem when to intervene should be better assessed by a cosmetic surgeon. You may ask for urine routine and microscopic examination. Consult your doctor.
