I will give you the story in brief as it has become very complicated with different doctors saying different things. I had my dd by c section 4 weeks ago. My initial bleeding stopped after 7 days but then bleeding has stopped and started for 3 weeks and is now brown and smelly, i also keep getting a temp. My gp sent me for a scan on Tuesday and there was something in uterus measuring 3.8 mm by 2mm was sent back to hospital who put me on strong antibiotics ~(I have already had 2 lots) and said will review in a week. At this visit to hospital they said unlikely to be retained products as had section.
Got a phone call next day asking me to go to hospital as they had reviewed scan and whatever it is is to big to leave and they were going to operate that night. Went to hospital and when i got there a different doctor said he thought the same as doctor yesterday and would not operate but continue with the plan of antibiotics and review.
Was just wondering if anyone has had eperience of retained products especially after c section. The section was complicated as my fallopian tube was attached to bladder so had to remove. I am now as you can imagine worried sick that there is something inside me (the surgeons watch perhaps lol)
