What Causes Severely Painful And Burning Lump In Navel Area Post A C-section?

I had a c section with my son almost 6 years ago and I had on and off pains and small lumps in and around the scar for a couple years after the surgery. For the past couple years I ve noticed the lump that normally isn t painful, that come up to the top of my belly where it is actually visible to see, it also moves around my belly. Tonight anytime I cough or move it hurts very bad, like a burning pain, nothing seems to help, it isn t moving any tonight..it s on the right side of my belly near my belly button. I touched it earlier and it hurt to push on..I have never heard of such a thing.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello hope the answer helps you.As you discuss had c/section 6 years back and earlier pain in scar tissue is due to nerve sectioning in the abdominal wall as neuropathic that is transient and goes off with passage of time.Recently you noticed lump around scar increase or hurts with coughing that is increase inta abdominal pressure I guess you are having incisional hernia over scar site that is benign and treatable thing so no worries as far as rest of your body systems not having any trouble.Avoid constipation,plenty of water 12-14 glasses daily and high fibre diet along stop smoking if and take your time in the mean while to consult general surgeon for it.
