Hi i had a laparotomy approx 4 weeks. I had an ovary and tube removed and my other ovary reconstructed. I was in a lot of pain but starting to feel much beta now.
My scar is healing nicely however the scar starts from inside my belly button. I have only just noticed that there are 2 stiches sticking out of my belly button other stiches r disolvable. My belly button also looks a little red so am starting to worry. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Thanks xxxx
Ill recommend to keep an eye on it of it gets worse could be an infection. But that happened to me when my glue was dissolving from my c section didnt get an infection though
I had that in September last year, it goes away after a while
Thats great tganks. Its started pussing a little bit yesterday but today it hasnt so not sure what to do maybe i am panicking unessecarily! Not too sure what will happen to the stich tho hanging out of my belly button! Xx
Keep the area clean and if it gets worse get it looked at. My stitch was hanging out but it’s gone now
Thanks i rang the hospital today n they advised me to keep it clean n go docs if am worried so might see if i can get an appointment tommorow. Known my luck am over reacting n its all part of the recovery process! They said that the stitch may be irritating it however if i go docs they will prob snip it xx
Went to docs n its infected! Got sum antibiotics so hopefully it clears u soon as starting to hurt now. My righthand side of stomach has started hurting a well which is the ovary i had removed so i hope its not anything to worry bout as i havent had pain in this side up to now!
Doctor left stich n said it shud fall out but it doesnt luk like its going anywhere xx
