problems after surgery

by spinny2, May 19, 2007 12:00AM
I had surgery 2 weeks ago for a ovary and tube removal.  I did have problems after the surgery - had to have a blood transfusion due to loss of blood after surgery, but other than that no other problems.  My question is where my incision site is i have a lump about 2 inches high (wound itself is about 3 inches long) it is weeping slightly as is the wound in my belly button. I am on Antibiotics as i had a temp and was showing signs of infection 1 week after surgery.  Doctors wern't sure if temp was from transfusion or infection. How long does it take for this lump to go away.  My belly feels like it is 6 months pregnant it is very sore to touch.  I had 3 cesar births but i feel this surgery is much much more painful than the 3 of them.  I have to return to work soon and i dont know how i will cope. I know a lot of ladies here have had the same surgery as i have and hope you could give me some advice.

This not normal at all,  you need to be seen by the doctor, the swelling could be a hernia, but the swollen tender belly is worriesome.   I would ask for an MRI or an Ultra sound.  Get   a complete CBC.  You might have a bleeder from the surgery site.   Good Luck
