Post op belly button stitches
Hello everyone sorry if this is gross.
I had my lap on 8th August. They said I could remove my incision plasters after 48hrs which I have done and this (see image) is what I have discovered in my belly button. It is very uncomfortable, I cannot get comfy lying down at all it feels like someone is constantly pinching it. Should I go to the walk in?
Sorry for being gross!
Mine was like that too. It does feel uncomfortable when you first take the dressings off. Hope you feel better soon!
Looks ok to me and just how mine did in July. The stitches are a bitch when they start to tighten and I had to adjust how I moved off the bed or sofa to avoid the sharpness. They took a while to disappear too but unless you’re getting a temperature and they’re looking red and nasty you should be ok 👍 keep taking paracetamol x
It will do, one the stitches dissolve it’ll feel much better xx

Hi,
My belly button incision keeps weeping clear fluid. Is this normal? I saw a dr at the hospital
Sorry the sensation is the tight stitches and everything settling down. If you think about what they did to you it is very traumatic to the body and will take 6+ weeks to settle. The wound looks normal to me and the bruising is about right. If your still worried Monday see your practice nurse. But I would take regular Paracetamol and if your really uncomfortable Ibrufen.
Best wishes
