History Of Hernia Repair Surgery On Lower Right Abdomen. Hard Lump Above Scar, Discomfort. What Could Be The Hard Lump?
Hi, I m a 26 year old female. When I was about 18 I had a hernia repair surgery done on my lower right abdomin. Recently I have discovered a hard lump about an inch or so above the scar that I have. If pressed on it hurts a bit and there is a general discomfort in the area. I remember being told that there was some scar tissue build up from the surgery. Could that be what the hard lump is?

Hi
Most common cause for the swelling 8 years after surgery at the hernial surgical scar site is Recurrence.Sometimes,granuloma may occur.
Please consult a surgeon and get it examined clinically for correct diagnosis.
You may need an Ultrasound of the area to confirm it.
Wish you good health
