Suggest Treatment For A Golf-ball Size Lump
My 88-yr-old mother had a femoral hernia operation last week and is experiencing a lot of pain. She had a golf-ball size lump that became almost intolerable and had fluid drained today at the doctor. About an hour after she left the doctor s office, the fluid build-up returned. Now it s the weekend and can t follow up with the doctor. Can you help?

After femoral hernia operation it is haematoma (collection of blood ) at the site of surgery ir the leakage of fluid from inside the abdominal cavity. If you cannot visit your doctor right now, have a pressure bandage at the site of surgery.It will stop accumulation of fluid/blood.
