Question

Male, 19 years old, Disease/Symptom: Hernia Condition Description: I had hernia surgery about half a month ago. Now the scar has healed, and I can go swimming. However, now there is a bulge that is different from the previous bubble. What is this condition?

Answer

Hello. If the lump you’re referring to is small, it could be a suture site reaction. It’s very likely caused by the skin’s rejection of non-absorbable sutures. Without a photo, it’s not possible to make a face-to-face diagnosis. Therefore, it’s difficult to provide a detailed analysis. Guidance: If there is no redness, swelling, or pain in the area, and the skin temperature is not high, there is no need for such long-term temporary treatment for the patient. If they first observe it, they may improve on their own. If they do not improve, they should go to the hospital to see a doctor for treatment. Follow-up: Thank you, doctor. No offense taken.
