If your incision is weeping you need to have it checked in case it is an infection causing this .

Take care x

I would generally say infection would cause it to weep especially if it hasn't healed properly. Get checked out asap xxx

Hi Luv,

It is probably an infection and needs checking out,but,maybe you have overdone it and caused a tear,either way,get it checked out to give peace of mind

I agree with the other ladies, you need to see your gp and get it checked and dressed, Dont use perfumed shower gel, perhaps Simple baby wash when showering. Best to get it sorted sooner than later, all the best

Agree with the rest....maybe infection. Are you running a fever? Is there a foul odor coming from the fluid oozing from the incision? Better to have it checked than to wonder. Good luck....JudyV

How old an incision? Get it checked, all the other ladies are right, incisions don't weep for no reason, is your temperature up? Have you overdone it? Good luck, let us know how you get on ❤️Xx
