<s>[INST] I am 1 week post op today. Abdominal hysterectomy, right ovary removed. I ve noticed a bulge of skin collected on my right side just above my ribs. Could this be a hernia developing? Will it go away in its own? Thank you for your time & attention~Catherine [/INST] Hi,This does not seem to be due to post operative hernia as this is an unusual site to occur. Other soft tissue abnormalities need to be ruled out.Get a MRI or ultrasound scan done.Thank you. </s>
