Abdominal wall endo

[lizzyxx]

Does anyone have any experience or information about abdominal wall endo? I have a hard painful lump in my abdomen that's around 5cm big, been to see my gp who doesn't have a clue what it is 🙈 xx

Meeeeee! I'm a few weeks from surgery to remove it and cant find any info. Feel free to ask me anything you'd like and I'll see if I can answer.. I'm very lucky to have a good consultant xx

Thanks for the reply ☺ can I ask what your lump felt like? Mine is long and hard rather than a regular 'circular' lump xx

Hi it feels bruised and hard ... sometimes warm (like the rest of my skin is cool to touch and that area is hot.

I have 2 lumps of it which have shown on scans and been biopsied. Its above my belly button and going upwards. It's not round and on the scans it is random in shape xx

Can you always feel your lump? I can't feel mine anymore but I now have one on the opposite side of my stomach but further down 🙈 xx

Mine fades the week before I have my period... but then flares up for the other 3 weeks. My operation to remove it is next week. I'm pleased as it hurts but super nervous too xx

I have. I had a lump at the side of my c-section scar removed a few years ago. Unfortunately it was done by a general gynae who didn't quite get it all so I would recommend you ask for a referral to an endo specialist. x
