Suggest remedy for a lump in the vasectomy surgery site?
Patient: I had a bi-lateral vasectomy on the 26th of last month and I developed a lump around the incision site. I was told by my doctor that it was a hematoma and he gave me antibiotics in case there was also an infection. As of today the inflammation has lessened but the hard lump around the incision site is still present? One, is this typical and two, should I be applying ice or heat to the lump in order to help it heal faster? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Doctor: Hi,Having some hematoma on the site is common and nothing to worry.As you have completed antibiotic ,there is no risk of having infection.you can apply ice pack for few days.Ok and take care.
