General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

The large mass described by you could be a recurrence of your hernia, or some kind of collection of serum/blood/infected tissue post surgery. I would suggest you to get your self reviewed by your treating surgeon at the earliest possible to chalk out proper management of the same. This needs a personal physical examination of your abdomen and the swelling to know the cause and plan out the treatment accordingly.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef
