Q. What is the reason for a small, painless lump in the IV injection area?
Hi doctor,
I had a fistulectomy surgery. I was given an IV for two days. It was attached to my right wrist and it was removed after two days. On that spot, where the injection was inserted, a very small, painless lump sort of a thing formed. It is already 39 days after surgery, but that small, painless lump is still there. What is the reason for this? What should I do to get rid of it?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Please relax and do not worry.
It is thrombophlebitis of superficial veins where your IV was attached. I suggest you apply Thrombophob ointment (Heparin sodium) three times a day on the swelling for seven days. Consult your doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
