What Are The Side Effects Of Fluid Filled Lump?
I have a fluid filled lump at the top of a surgery incision from this past january. It looks like swelling but is "squishy" to the touch and becomes more pronounced at certain times. It is not red, but when it is pronounced one can hear the fluid being pressed away. There is no pain. The incision is vertical and goes from below my rib cage to below my belly button.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
This can be a seroma= collection of fluid filtered from the blood. By this time it should have been absorbed completely.
Another possibility is an incisional hernia with an intestine into it.
Get an ultrasonography done. This will give a better diagnosis along with clinical examination to be done by the Surgeon who operated on you.
You may need a further Surgery to close the defect.
Go for it.
Before complications occur.
