I had a C-section about four months ago and now I have these hard, painful lumps on my left hip. I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't. What could these be and should I be worried?

Hard, painful lumps on the hip four months after a C-section could be related to scar tissue, a hernia, or even endometriosis. While some lumps are normal post-surgery, persistent pain and lumps warrant medical evaluation. It's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
