wound still leaking 7 weeks

just looking for any reassurance/experiences. I had a lap nearly 7 weeks ago. This was because of ectopic pregnancy. I’d only really just recovered from my lap endo excision when I needed this op as emergency.

There’s a small oozing hole on one side of my belly button and another on one side of the incision site on my left tummy. The holes are where a stitch was put in and remains raw and not healing. It actually seemed to do okay around 2 weeks in and then I seemed to react to the sutures and get all tender and itchy and that’s when the oozing and holes appeared. I also have oozing from somewhere deep in/behind my belly button.

I am seeing a consultant next week as I have now had lots of courses of antibiotics including some strong ones for long courses and no difference.

Just wondered if anyone had similar and it eventually settled? Feeling worried may need another procedure to remove retained sutures under the skin or even a fluid collection under the belly button. It all seems to me related to how much I’ve reacted to the sutures. I am quite an allergicy person.

I feel really sore and miserable with it. We want to start TTC again and can’t while this going on. 😓😓😓
