What Is The Treatment For The Hard Mass In The Lower Abdomen Around The Area Of Surgery?
In 2007, almost 7 years ago, my appendix burst and I had emergency surgery. A few years later I noticed a large hard mass in my lower right abdomen around the scar. When I cough it really sticks out. As the years go by, It seems to be getting harder, or at least I am noticing it a lot more. It doesn't cause me pain but it's really annoying. I also have a smaller on to the left of my belly button

Thank for asking to HCM
This could be overgrow tissues (Hypergranulation ) that is the only near possibility, but looking to your history this has to be investigated and the x-ray study is must this will clear the picture, taking any medicine without knowing the exact cause is not advisable, you can talk to your surgeon, hope this information helps you, have nice day.
