Is it normal to have new swelling 12 days post op radical hysterectomy lymph node removal vertical incision feel large and lumpy under the wound especially on one side
We can't really say what the swelling is but if you have concerns it is better to get the area checked. A lymphocyte is a collection of lymph fluid that can sometimes develop in your tummy. The swelling that you are getting maybe this but we can't diagnose you.
I would get one of the surgical team or your GP to check the area and hopefully put your mind at rest that all is well.
The hospital may have given you a number to ring if you have any problems at home.
If you would like to ring one of the helpline nurses to discuss any of this then you are more then welcome to give us a call. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.
