Sqadlet... I Have This Lump...

[Bbbananas]

In all seriousness, anyone. I had a TAH & BSO about 18 months ago for an ovarian tumour. Regular CA125s since then have been normal.

I have now developed a lump / bulge on the right side of my incisional scar which is very prominent and quite large when I cough or strain. I have self- diagnosed a hernia.

However, due to my phmx I am a bit worried it could be another pelvic wall growth or lump on the bowel.

Any advice?

I remember your case well..........;-)

In my opinion, your diagnosis is "spot on"........an incisional hernia.

Pelvic wall growth or lump in the bowel? That would be as likely as rocking horse manure.

Monitor the swelling until it causes problems...... e.g pain or the swelling doesn't retract.

P.S Daughter of Godzila is now a grandmother....with all that that entails.

Lol - you always made me laugh. Even when it hurt... !!!

I always thought an incisional hernia had to protrude out of part of the actual incision wound - mine is just off to the right, about midway down. I did injure myself there about a month ago which left a bruise, and I have been coughing almost constantly for about 5 weeks now (cold virus) - hence my self-diagnosis.
And I must admit I did lift, carry and do too much following my initial op. I am not a woman who obeys, even when she knows she should. ;-)

My doc has ordered an uss & bloods including CA125. O/e she did say, whatever it is, it is large.

You can't get me to change my opinion...;-)

The scar is just the final layer of the repair...there are at least two other layers underneath the scar and indeed "off centre" and that explains why an incisional hernia may not be in -line with the incision.

Thanks. Je suis reassure X

Boy or girl? Birthweight? Name? Bowel and sleeping habits? Have you been asked to be The Godfather. ???????? :-)

Boy...the father is a w.nker and the mother is a lazy sl@pper who never changes out of her pyjamas. So DofG is doing all the "looking after" which suits her down to the ground.
The kid stands no chance in life with that setup.

Oh dear. What a bummer.
The rupture(s) in this bowel of an existence we call life eh?
Let's hope the boy is intestined for something better.

(My jokes have not got any better).

LOL....eh?

Going outside now for some sun with Mrs sqad......see you later.......you will always be number one.
