Lumps just under my belly button.

[fatstacks]

Hi ladies, wondering if anyone with Endo had lumps under belly button. My husband noticed it under my skin it was not painful but as the days pass it gets very painful. I have had laproscopy 4× cause of Endo. Dr. Prescribed sonogram, CT, MRI and still unsure what they are and just saying probably scar tissue from the procedures. Have an appointment in 1 month for my Gyno but in this waiting period so many thoughts are going threw my head and freaking me out! FYI: I have two kids since my after 3rd removal and one removal after children's births and not C-sections cause I've read here about Endo getting into the incisions. I also suffer with MS which may be why I cant shake this horrible sickness. Thank you for any answers.

Hi there

I would say this is all. Very normal after the amount of laps you have had it is more than likely to be scarr tissue I have the same all over my belly and belly button area

A few months after my first op, I felt lumps just below my belly button. I thought it was endo at first, as it brought pain to the touch. I contacted my gyno doctor who said that it was quite likely to be scar tissue.

Of course you're going to be running through everything and being worried but after procedures (and the procedure is like being deeply stabbed by a knife) that are invasive and go in deep to cut in, you're going to have a lot of adhesive scarring in the area and along the lines of the pathway from the incision. As long as you don't have any other symptoms (like pre-surgery symptoms) then its just scar tissue. (Paraphrased my doctor's advise, so I hope that you don't mind).

You might also feel nauseous due to low iron levels. I had this after my op, well pre op too but nothing was done about it, and in September after another flare up my gyno doctor recommended for me to have an iron infusion since the severe nausea and fatigue was (at least) something that could be managed. So it might be worth a look if your doctor agrees.

Thanks ladies, this is making me feel better. Especially since my visit with the Gyno is probably going to be cancelled due to a blizzard warning. Can I ever get a break. Good luck to you all. A little promising info I just received in years to come though. sciencedaily.com/releases/2...
