How To Cure 8.8x2.5x7.4cm Hematoma In Gallbladder?
I'm a 25 year old female and just had my gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago, since the surgery I have been in constant pain and discomfort. 2 CAT scans have revealed a (roughly) 8.8x2.5x7.4 cm hematoma in the gallbladder fossa. How common is this and how does the body re absorb something like this? What if my body does not reabsorb it? I'm afraid that I will feel like this forever. I can't stand or walk and the surgeon doesn't want to do anything about it

Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have removed your gall bladder.
After surgery you have hematoma in gall bladder fossa from bleeding .
Hematoma is collection of blood ...
It is not tumour .so no need for extra worry.
Hematoma gradually will be resolved...
Close follow up needed.
Avoid excess work load and straining.
If it not resolved then drainage can done.
But just now close follow up need.
Take care.
