[|Human|] My 21 yo daughter is 5 days post op from a reduction of a telescopic small bowel that had no lead point. When she stands up she has a small protrusion right above the mid line surgical incision. She is having small bowel movements and had a GI xray with contrast to ensure there was no further obstruction post op. This area is tender to touch. She has no vomiting and no fever. Should I be concerned about this swollen area? It developed yesterday and seems a bit larger today.
[|AI|]  Hello! I really appreciate your concern. But such swellings are common after surgical procedures due to inflammation of the site. If there is pain, tenderness and redness at the swelling then you should concern about it and have an appointment with the surgeon. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about the swelling. It will be minimized as the days past. Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care. Thank you. Best Regards.
