A member asked:

I had a herina operation 11 weeks ago above my belly button, i was all okay. now i'm feeling a lot of pain and a lump where the mesh is. what do i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Seroma vs recurrence: 11 weeks after surgery this lump could be a recurrence of the hernia or a seroma(fluid collection )that will resolve on its own if you can push it back it is a hernia..
