Is the hardness after laparoscopic surgery due to inflammation?

Patient's question:

25 days after ectopic pregnancy surgery, laparoscopic surgery, the wound has healed, but the left wound still hurts, and it feels hard when pressed. Is it inflamed? It looks a little red from the outside, but there's no discharge. The scar looks healed from the outside!

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if you have undergone an ectopic pregnancy surgery three weeks ago and feel a hard lump at the incision site in addition to pain, this is because the scar has not fully healed. It is recommended that you use a hot water bag to apply cold compresses to the scar area. Avoid overexertion and exposure to cold, and pay attention to rest. If the scar can be treated with epidermal growth factor to promote local epidermal scarring. In addition to treating ectopic pregnancy, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a pleasant mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the healing process.
