Scar tissue and potential pseudobursa. Is it okay to leave if I haven't had problems?

Asked By:Manni1984 in London, GB

Dear Doctors, I had a TT 6 years and the recovery was uneventful. For the last 5 years I have noted a thickened oval scar like feeling above the incision on the right hand side. There are no symptoms and you can not see it. It is only a mental nuisance when and if I feel it. I have no problems with it and would prefer not to remove it as it has been present for 5 years and not changed at all. If it is a pseudobursa or scar tissue, it is ok to leave it under these circumstances? Many thanks.
