What Causes Swelling In The Stomach After A Mastectomy?
I have stomach swelling for the past two weeks after my mastectomy 5 weeks ago. I have actually gained 12 lbs in the past two weeks. I m concerned something is going on. I did have my sentinel node removed and have been taking 800 mg ibuprofen 3x a day for the past 3 weeks. Should I be concerned.

Hi,
It might be due to lack of physical activities and sedentary life after the procedure. If you are experiencing severe weight gain, better to consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out possibilities like endocrine problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
