Hmm 3 weeks is a long time for you to still be bleeding, I would call my Doc if I were you. All my incision were glued shut and healed very fast.

Good luck.

I think it's a long time too for it to still be bleeding. I understand it could take time for it to HEAL but I wouldn't think it should still be bleeding. I would call your doctor. Good luck!

denise,defiantly call your surgeon, if its bleeding their could be an infection and you may need to go on antibiotics..good luck and much success..irish
