Hi everyone.
im coming up to 2 weeks since my surgery. Had a stage 1 tumor removed from my vulva, 2cm.
has anyone experienced pelvic swelling? It doesn’t hurt, just looks puffy.
Any advice would be really appreciated

Hello Mel
yes I had swelling and puffiness around my pubic bone for quite a long time, like you it wasn’t painful. It did get back to normal eventually. If you are concerned then I would mention it when you go for your checkup. It is early days yet, so try not to worry. I hope all goes well for your healing. If you have any questions then please ask.
