I had keyhole surgery 5 weeks ago for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy.
There are 3 incisions - around both tube areas and also in and just below my belly button. All are healing very well in terms of what I can see but I'm concerned about the belly button incision under the skin - immediately below it I have at least an inch of very hard 'matter' and it's becoming sore to touch. Nothing looks amiss on the surface and the other two incisions aren't hard or sore at all when I touch them.
I'm assuming the belly button incision is hard from scar tissue forming - does that sound right? And if so, is it usual for it to be sore to touch?
I'm trying to avoid going to the doctor for a non-issue so any advice really appreciated, thank you. In case relevant, I was discharged within 24 hours of surgery and haven't had any post-op checks once home.
