Hi I am a 40 yr old female, polycystic ovary syndrome, had cyst in stomach removed 2 yrs ago, formed behind needle mark, lump seems to have returned, red, sore to touch, greenish discharge coming from it, hurts when bend over or sat down, can you advise what it could be? thanks
Hi ! Good morning. If I were your doctor, after a clinical examination of the lump, I would refer you to a general surgeon or your original operating surgeon to investigate you thoroughly on the lump apart from treating the infection which could be due to an unresolved suture of the previous surgery, a known problem with some. Till then, I would advise you for a broad spectrum antibiotic along with an anti-inflammatory and a proton pump inhibitor, and a regular sterile Chat Doctor. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
