My wife had a heart catheterization, Teh site of ten setting groin is fine but slightly above it she has a lump. Not big but elongated. When she walks it doesnt hurt but when she presses it it hurts a bit. It has been 7 days since the catheterization.Thank you
H. This is a hematoma, which usually resolves nicely even without medicines as a normal body healing process. Observe that it is nor getting enlarged and does not get warm and painful - tell then the need of an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory medicine. You can please get this confirmed by ultrasonography with a color Doppler - to rule out it is not something else.
