What Causes Hard Lumps Above A Hysterectomy Scar?
I had a full hysterectomy on the 9th of august 2016. I have developed these hard lumps on the left above the scar. They hurt and are quite painful. My doctor said he believes it fibrosis nodules, but i don t fully comprehend. He prescribed me codeine as i am very allergic to a lot of medications and said we will monitor the lumps. Can you please shed some light on my situation!!!

Hello,
Most probably it will be a fibrosis of the scar. Consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound to make a diagnosis. As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
