MMO in Mexico on 4/4/23 got an infection. Im 6 months post op now,&Im still super unhappy with my belly button. It looks STRANGE.Its not even the scarring (got a cream for raised scars by my derm, its working) its being able to see the inside of it & how wide it is.Ive always had a deep innie.I told my primary doctor,& she referred me to a GENERAL surgeon,I booked and he said yes, i have a small hernia & explained the different ways operate.
I'm 32 years old had a umbilical hernia at birth my mom kept telling me it's just extra skin but i feel otherwise now years later doing research I'm having the same problems as some of the symptoms like constipation and bloating feel heavy at times and stomach distention
I had a hernia operation at the belly button just over nine weeks ago the right hand side of the wound is bleeding and open but I have just noticed that the area around the open bit is very red could it be infected
I am 3-4 weeks post opp. No mesh, healing fine. This week the scar began getting itchy. It is kind of puffed up and continues to get more itchy. Is this the beginning of an infection on the inside or under scar? Also I am 30 weeks pregnant, with a 10 month old. Holding her may have exceeded lifting limit along with rubbing the incision.If infected can it affect or be affecting my unborn baby? And should I consider this to be an emergency room visit since its the weekend ?
The first surgery year ago and the dr inserted a mesh.months later i was in pain and i finally found another surgeon to remove the mesh.the mesh was infected.3 months later the hernia came back.This same dr who took out the mesh now glued and stitched my hernia.week later i developed a seroma which required another surgery and a drain .3 weeks since the last surgery and my stomach turned black and blue and my belly button started to bleed. saw the dr and he closed up my wound by cuatherising it.
Fit & healthy (age 31) - my wound has no signs of infection however there is swelling above the scar. - skin is extremely sensitive - wearing tight clothing is painful - I feel very swollen 'inside'. A pulling sensation extends into my thigh area - sitting in car feels very uncomfortable bordering on painful - I can't walk at a fast pace. How do you know if there inflammation inside even if outside wound looks healthy? The discomfort is really getting to me as I feel healing is not progressing?
