What Causes A Lump In The Vein After IV?

I had a hysterectomy on Saturday and was released from the hospital on Monday. My question is I have an approximate quarter sized knot on my wrist where they removed the iv. Should I be concerned or does my anxiety have me super scared for no reason? Thank you.

Hello,

It may be due to thrombophebitis.

For that you can take tablet acetaminophen for pain.

Apply thrombophob over it locally.

You can apply ice over it.

Maintain proper hygiene
