hematoid Blood clot

I am six weeks out from my surgery and went for my check up. After the exam and an ultra sound I am now informed I have a large hematoid clot in my abdomine. He said I could have more surgery and have it removed or play the waiting game has anyone else had this problem and what can I do to help the clot dissolve?

can you tell me the symptoms you ave that made your doc suspect anything was wrong..im 4 weeks out,have a huge knot above my incision that goes almost all the way to my belly button,and i hurt just right of my belly button so bad i cant even touch it..and as of today,its hurting even if its not being touched also......did you have the knot or the hurting??thanks...sonie

The area is really sore and for the first three to four weeks I had bad bruising all over my stomach. It feels like a bad bruise on the inside and yes there is a knot. I am also having problems with urination it hurts to go. I thought I was still just sore from the surgery so I just dealt with the pain. If this sounds anything like what you are having problems with I would talk to your doctor.

this sounds exactly like whats going on with mine..even down to the hurting when i pee,but i chalked that up to the trama of surgery,and the catheder i had...i see my doc on monday for a 5 week post-op check..however,if the pain continues to be as bad as it was today,im going to go to the er if they cant get me into the office..im just miserable with this..this spot has hurt me since my 2 day in the hospital...sonie
