Suggest Remedy For Lumps In Lymph Nodes
I had an open biopsy on my groin for swollen lymph nodes. I have about a 4 inch incision with about 10 staples. Its been 9 days since my surgery and now i have a hard lump under my incision. It does move from the start of the cut down to the bottom. Its very hard and causes some slight pain. Someone said this could be lymphocele. I'm not sure what that is. Do you know if this is a problem or just part of the healing process?

Welcome to Healthcaremagic... what you described could be a small collection of blood or lymph or it could be normal induration after surgery also... have a review with your surgeon... if it's induration medication should take care of it...if it's a collection you may need to have it let out...
