I had a total hysteractomy with a vertical incision 2 weeks ago. There is a hard lump under the top part of the incision below the belly button. The nurse looked at it and says it s likely scar tissue, but isn t it a little soon for scar tissue. It only hurts if I push on it. Could it be a hernia? Peggy

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-Subcutaneou collection of the sero-sanguinous discharge at the lower end of the incision / or it could be a gaping of the Wound as a whole, which may start at the lower end of the incision.USG Study and debridement of the wound for any Foreign body of the stitch inside with sero-sanguinous collection with it. Possibility of hernia is very less, from the facts of your query. Second Opinion from Surgeon / Gone doctor would resolve this issue.
