I had an injection last July for an abortion, and ever since, I've been feeling pain at the injection site on my butt. A few days later, I noticed a hard lump where the injection was given, and it's been there for 8 months now. I'm really worried if this could be something dangerous. Can you let me know what's going on?

After an injection for abortion, it is possible to develop a lump at the injection site. This is known as an injection site reaction. In most cases, these lumps are not dangerous and can take some time to resolve on their own. However, if the lump persists for 8 months, it is important to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional to rule out any potential complications. You can try using a warm compress on the area to help reduce the lump. If the lump is causing pain or continues to grow, you may need further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any discomfort.

I've been having really bad stomach pain in my lower right side and my reports show minimal free fluid in the pelvis plus a cyst in my right ovary with hyperdense content. How serious is this and do I need surgery for it?

The combination of lower right abdominal pain, minimal free fluid in the pelvis, and a hyperdense ovarian cyst can be concerning and may warrant further investigation. While many ovarian cysts are benign and resolve on their own, the hyperdense content suggests a potential need for a closer look. The severity of your condition and the need for surgery will depend on the size, type, and other characteristics of the cyst, as well as your individual symptoms and overall health.
