Sooo I'm a month post elective c section.
My wound has had a bit of a rocky ride, 1 and a half weeks post op exudent was gushing out my wound, went to get checked and right enough the swabs confirmed there was indeed some kinda bacteria in there for which I was prescribed 2 courses of anti biotics. The courses are done and they helped amazingly! I am infection free. Fast forward a week later to 2 and a half weeks post op and I noticed a stich at the far left corner of the wound Infront of a tiny, uninfected hole. I went to maternity assessment to get this checked where I was given pronstan gel and sterile water to wash daily. I done this for a whole week. The wound was clean, smell was gone and 99% of pain gone but the small stich still remained, I decided enough was enough about 5 days ago and got sterile scissors and cut the knot off the stich after pulling it out about half an inch. There was still a small bit of stich left inside the tiny hole but the hole has since closed up and redness has gone down so it's healing just fine and I'm assuming the remaining stich inside the wound has dissolved as it has to be in the body to dissolve. Today I noticed another stich starting to show.. On the opposite side of my wound. Slightly stingy but I'm assuming this is because the lovely pouch of skin that over hangs my scar 🙄 Has anyone else had experience with rejecting stitches, should I go to docs or see how it goes? Is it serious? Help 😂 they obviously arnt dissolving properly thus stunting the natural healing process. I just feel that at 4 weeks post op my stitches should have already sorted themself's out. Don't want to be waisting anymore of the NHS time so if any advice would be awesome 😂😁
