Asked By:2BNORMAL in FL

as of thurs my belly was swollen but hard when touched I could feel fluid move under the tissue, now I have a large increase from my mons up to my lower belly button. You touch my stomach and the wave that has been talked about is seen. Thurs my PS did a quick US and said he did not see one Will an MRI show a seroma and would tissue swelling cause wave motion like a seroma. Now a small area of my incision has opened and is leaking. called PS secretary said to put a maxi pad on it, what do I do?
