My C section incision is still bleeding and smelly after 8 weeks should I worried.

  • Hello Ray 60

    Is the C section where they operated to remove the womb? Sorry if it's a daft question. 

    If you have a fever you may have an infection.  You could try  cleaning it with cotton wool dipped in  salted boiled water( let it cool first) do this morning and evening and it should improve.  Otherwise  call the doctors fir advice ir 111.

    Take care x

  • Yes the C section was for removing the womb, thank you for your help.

  • Hallo Ray60, my hysterectomy was laparoscopic BUT I have a C section scar from having my first child, and my C section wound was dry quite soon and fully healed by my 6 week check. I’d recommend either calling 111 or the ward where you had your op. It may be an infection as Mad said. You may also possibly have been overdoing things and putting strain on the wound. Have you had your post op check yet?

  • Sorry forgot to mention to get as much air to the wound as possible to start drying it out x
