My belly button is slowly bleeding 10 days post op. It started a couple days ago after I cleaned it out with a Q tip and I think a scab came off. I started motrin that day as well and took it the next day. Could the motrin be aggravating it more? Should I just stick to Norco until it scabs up again?
I have type 1 Von Willebrands bleeding disorder. I would like to have a tummy tuck with lipo. I would like to know if having Von Willebrands increases my risk to the point where I would not be a candidate for the surgery. I have had 3 C-sections and a partial hysterectomy. I was premedicated with DDAVP and IV Benadryl (I am allergic to DDAVP) before past surgery and have had little to no bleeding. Thoughts? 46 yrs old, 5ft, 143lbs
It's been about 10 days since my Tummy Tuck and I haven't had any issues that haven't been answered except that I was using a back brace since my back was hurting so bad and the doctor said it was okay. However, today, I noticed a spot where the tape over my incision line was bleeding. Is this normal and am I doing too much?
I'm almost 6 weeks post-Tummy Tuck. I had a spot on the scar that was healed, but 2 days ago, it started bleeding a little when I removed the Epi-Derm Scar Sheet strip. Prior to this, my doctor had recommended just placing a band aid over any spots that were not healed and continue using the strips, so that is what I did. When I took the strip off again tonight, it was bleeding a lot, and a portion of remaining scar looked like there was blood close to the surface. I've been taking Advil the past couple of days because of the discomfort and tightness. Could Advil have caused this bleeding? Should I also stop using the scar strips?
Hello Docs i had a tummy tuck 6 years ago and my belly button is a deep hole so i cant see in it but its oozing puss and now when i clean it blood comes out on q-tip. Is this a serious concern and what can i do? i have no money to pay to see a surgeon I have went to see my pcp doctor 3 and he said there is nothing to worry about.
Just wanting to make sure everything looked normal! I had a stitch that was snagging and making my incision bleed so I cut the stitch and all is ok now! Still swollen is this normal at 4 weeks post OP?
