Belly And Clothing Prolong My Incision Healing



Recommended Posts

Hello. I am now 2 weeks post op. My main incision and the drain hole are very slowly healing. They itch from time to time, so I think that's a sign that they are healing. I am still getting a drip of blood from the main incision, which is right at the top of my abdomen. The drain hole is just yucky looking...no scabing yet. I'm afraid that the combination of my belly moving and my bra is making it open and heal so slowly. Anyone else had that problem?

My surgeon said i could clean that and put a piece of surgical (sterile) tape over it to prevent rubbing and change it a few times a day if draining. If not draining daily...A non stick gauze changed often if it is really draining...
