Hello I had a tummy tuck about 6 months ago. I had many complicatiosI started bleeding from one of the drain sites about 10 Days after surgery and 4 days after having the drain removed. Took myself up to ED as I was unable to stop the bleeding and was told my heamaglobin was down to 65 and I had to have 2 blood transfusions. I spent another 3 days in hospital and had a drain inserted into my abdomen as I then had seromas. I had about 500mls of brown blood drained over a few days and got staph.
Hello, I'm 15dpo, I went to a certified Dr in Mexico, so I can't just go to his office for concerns as he is 13 hrs away. My drains came out at 9 dpo. I went to our local family practice center for my concern of a seroma at 11dpo. The Dr instantly told me it looked like my bb has a staph infection. My bb doesn't ooze, isn't painful or even have an odor, it does get some oragney crusties around it at the end if the day. Does my bb appear to be infected and what can I do to make it heal faster?
I had a tt with mr in Janurary, I told me doc something was not right , finally I had a X-ray done and it showed I had a Seroma a drain was put in ,then that drain came out , had another one put in, thats when I found out I had a staff infection. Second drain is out. My Seroma was above my navel, now it seems to have gone below my navel, could the doctor possibly not want to do another surgery to just remove it because it would be on him as far as cost?
I had a staph infection a couple weeks after surgery on my insidious line thats now cleared. Ive been packing it and keeping it very clean. Ill go ahead and mention that I am a RN...five days ago my upper stomach plus my belly button started to swell and turned bright red and was supper hot. I made an apt with my doc. He prescribed me an antibiotic and recultured my small wound (not currently my problem). That was yesterday. Im now running a 101+ fever, and I overall feel horrible.
I am so distressed and need expert advise here. I just had my debridement and revision after Tummy tuck 2 weeks ago and the culture came back showing staph infection. My dr surgically cleaned it all out and then put me on Bactrim. I took the Bactrim DS 8 days and had itching and started getting bad shortness of breath, cough, chest pain so I stopped 2 days short. Now my incision is a little inflamed and my PS wants me to take Bactrim again for 7 days just in case of an infection...
The infection came after a month of healing. There is also a large painful knot under the skin up above the bellybutton. I was put on antibiotics for a week but didn't improve, so they added a second antibiotic for two more weeks. It seemed to heal up good. 4 days after I finished the antibiotics the infection returned. They have put me back on antibiotics. I am worried that it will come back again. What else can or should be done? What is it and why won't it heal.
I had a tummy tuck 5 weeks ago. Long story short-I ended up with a staff infection and now I have quite a bit of induration that is about 8 inches by 4 inches and is located above the scar line just below the belly button. My ps seems confused and said he thinks it's okay and time will tell. Well, honestly him simply thinking that it's okay isn't very reassuring to me. Can a doctor please tell me the prognosis of induration such as this? Any thoughts would be helpful for me. I'm scared/worried
Many of you have been following my questions lately and have seen my pictures of the green infection coming from the holes in my TT insicion. As you may know, I had a culture of it done and the prelimenary report said I had Staph and MRSA. I was put on oral bactrum, 1 pill 3 times a day. Today the final culture report came back and I also have "bacteroid" infection? I have developed a horrid odor in the fluid oozing out of my incision as well. Should I be hospitalized and on IV antibiotics?
