Due to nighttime erection 3 stitches broke, now I have visible gap and wound is opening when I move my penis. There is some yellow fluid inside the wound and after taking tissue that I use when wearing underwear, I can see some blood spotting and that yellow fluid on the tissue. Did anyone go through the same issue? I’m really getting worried and trying to get to see doctor but with all that COVID BS it’s not that easy to get through.

Stitches popes on day 5
Yep. It could happen, if you did not support wound edges with a gauze or skin tape. There was too much stretch on incision line.
Your wound will heal by secondary intention from bottom of the wound first. (It is called 'wound bed'). Did you get proper wound care instructions? You can ask more information of wound care from your local health care provider.

Yeah I have been told to take by bandages off 48h after surgery, then apply cream twice a day and salt bath once a day witch I did. I’ve been told not to put another bangade on the wound after that. I’m still trying to get through to the clinic where I got procedure done. Do you know how long can it take to heal after stitches broke?
We all heal at individual pace, but normally not more than one month.
This is exactly what happened to me. The bottom side opened up. Mine got infected but the best thing I did was just sit with the open area facing up and I let it dry out over a few days, dabbing it dry when wet. 4/5 days and it was fully dry. About 1 week- week and a half later and all stitches and scans came out/off. The scar doesn’t look as bad as it looks with the scabs on. So don’t worry it will sort it’s self out in time
I’ve seen doctor and he said yellow stuff is just a way it is healing, so no infection. How did you clean the wound after stitches broke? I’ve been advised to stop salt baths for few days
How did it go? I seem to have one place where one stitch popped too or atleast there seems to be a small gap. Wondering if it can close itself.
I’ve stopped salt baths as advised by doctor and it healed quite quickly to be fair. I had pretty big gap after stitches popped but it closed in about 10 days. Looked scary though 😣
I am happy for you I use kamillan to bath him in. Should I stop that? Doesn't seem right tho
