Ingunial hernia seroma
Hi all, I am looking for some feedback here.
In May of this year, I had surgery to repair an inguinal hernia, it was laparoscopical and I had a mesh placed. A few days after the surgery I noticed a seroma formed, doctor confirmed that and said it would resolve on its own.
I walk daily and that doesn’t seem to have much of an impact. I can’t push it back into my body either like I could with the hernia.
It’s now October and it hasn’t changed at all. I recently took a CT scan in September and at its largest point it’s 6 cm in diameter. It’s honestly bigger than the hernia I had at this point… I’m not really gonna hoe about draining it because that can lead to a risk of infection and the fluid can come back is what my doctor has advised me.
Has this happened to anyone else? I’m really disheartened here thinking I’ll be like this forever…
Thanks all!
