C-sections

Lump under skin near incision?

I have a lump under my skin on one side of the incision. It's not too painful. This is my second section. I have my six week check to tomorrow, so ill ask my OB. Did anyone else experience this? TIA

Re: Lump under skin near incision?

  • Yes, I had this with DD. My doctor told me it was either a stitch that was causing it or some fluid build up behind the incision. She told me that it will go away on its own.

    I have a slight lump to one side this time and can actually feel the stitch poking out of my incision. Not worried about it as I was in the ER due to some severe pain I was having last night (worse than the c-section itself) and the ER doctor said my incision looked really good. My pain on the other hand was horrible but I was told that it was most likely fluid build up or due to me moving wrong or a nerve getting twisted in with scar tissue. Again I was told the lump was normal.

  • thanks for your reply! my OB thought it might me scar tissue, but if it gets larger to call. I hope you feel between soon and congrats!

  • I'm lumpy around the area too and my gyn told me that it's scar tissue. She also mentioned that it's there to stay. ugh... 

     

  • I have a lump where they tied it off. It was quite a bit bigger when the stitches were there but it never fully went down. If I toned things up I'm sure it would help but over all it's probably scar tissue.
