Hernia Forum - Inguinal Hernia Repair One Week Ago

Hi,

I recently had my surgery one week ago, and from the day after the surgery I have felt a small lump on the right side. I figured that was the mesh they were using to patch it up, but the lump has become more noticeable; when I stand up straight, the right side is obviously bigger than the left side. The lump does not hurt, but as of now a big concern to me.

Is this normal and should I be concerned?

The bump seems to be becoming bigger, this is a recurrent hernia I am guessing after just one week? I did not participate in any strenuous activity besides progressively walking each day.

I have the same phenomenon and as far as my research in the web went I came to believe that it should be liquid gathering in the area of the Canalis inguinalis. I went under surgery two weeks ago and the lump is still there. Sometimes I have the impression it is a bit bigger then again I think it has less tension in it an it is smaller but I believe that's just imagination.
