It is possible that you could have some scar tissue or it could be a cyst or hernia. I would recommend that you have your physician examine the lump to determine the exact cause but if they did do a D&C then that is good as this reduces the chance of any infection. If it is not causing any pain I would not be overly worried but it would be something that I would recommend you have evaluated further by your physician.

Yes you should have it looked at and your family physician should be able to diagnose this and recommend you to a specialist if they feel you need to be seen by a surgeon but you first need to be seen by your primary physician. But you should have it checked out of it has been there for nine months.
