A member asked:
Is it normal to get hardness & tenderness 8weeks after laproscopic hernia surgery?

Sometimes.: Hardness is common due to scar tissue. If mesh was used there will be some tissue reaction that occurs then subsides as healing matures. If pain is getting worse than better, go see your surgeon.

Maybe: It is common to develop fluid collection or seroma after laparoscopic ventral hernia repair, as this can be firm and tender. You should follow up with your surgeon to make sure everything is ok.
