Small holes in incision??

Question

I noticed a couple days after my 2 week checkup that I had a small hole in my incision. It was also draining a little bit but it was clear and had a light pink color. I called the nurse and she didn't seem to concerned. I am now almost 5 weeks and it's still there and I have 2 more small holes. Has anyone else experience this? I was glued back together and no staples or anything. I'm just so ready for it to be healed for I can start doing normal things again. I just hope it's nothing serious going on.

Answer

Is there any redness or swelling around the incision? If yes, you could have an infection brewing and should have the doctor check it out. If not, then the holes and pink fluid is probably due to you being too active. Sounds like you should take it easy for the next 2 weeks to give it time to heal.

Answer

By 5 weeks you shouldn't have any wholes. I would go in and see if they need to re-glue or steri-strip you back together until your skin heals together.  If it's tender, red or warm; it could also be infected and you may need to have it packed with some gauze until it can heal from the inside out.

Answer

I have the same thing. A very small hole in the incision with a tiny bit of discharge.  I noticed it after my two week check up. It doesn't hurt, it's not warm to the touch and it's not red. I think I over did it and didn't give myself enough time to heal. I have to go back in a few weeks for my 6 week check up. As long as it doesn't get worse, I will wait till then to ask the dr.

Answer

I am 7 almost 8 weeks post  c-section. I had stitches and I still have a scab that won't heal. I had an infection, it had puss, was red and was a little swollen but it cleared up from antibiotics. I showed my Dr. the scab that won't heal and she suggested vitamin E oil to promote healing.

Answer

It hasn't been hot to touch or swollen that I know of. It's been looking better ever since I put some neosprin on it. But the nurse told me I didn't need to come in unless it got really red or not to touch and if it drains a bunch. I figure she would want the doctor to look at it but she didn't seem to make a big deal over it . This is my first c section so I have no idea.

Answer

go to the doctor , sounds like an infection x
