Weeping wound - nearly 3 weeks post op

Just wondering if anyone else has had this?

I had keyhole with 5 incisions and the one above belly button has been more uncomfortable since the op. Hardly aware of others.

2.5 weeks as after op, it got really itchy, and I resisted somehow, but Saturday the skin glue had split and then I noticed a tiny bit of weeping fluid where glue coming away from wound. No smell. No more pain than the feeling I've had since op, which is occasionally uncomfortable, but it kind of gets scrunched up when I sit/slouch.

Today I've put a dressing on as it seemed a tiny bit overnight and made a mess of my nightie.

Will phone ward and/or GP in morning, but wondered if anyone else had same - very small discharge from wound, this far after op with no smell, almost skin coloured - pale creamy colour (I'm pasty white!).

Hi SparklyFireworks, sorry to hear about your weeping wound, I never had that problem but from what others have said sounds like you may have an infection or something. Your doing the right thing and giving your GP and or ward a call so they can get you fixed back up. Hope everything goes OK and that you will feel much better very soon, let us know how you get on.

Sending you a big bear hug

Hi SparklyFireworks

I also had keyhole but with 4 incisions. They were a bit itchy as things healed but no real problems. The one on my right side was a bit more puckered but as the stitches dissolved it straightened. My Bridget Jones missed the one above my belly button so didn't rub in any way. None of them seeped anything so I think you should get it checked out asap. Might be a little infection you'll need antibiotics to sort out.

Let us know how you get on, good luck Barb xx
