Ob/gyn left something inside after c-sec & tub? rod like object right side above scar. 2 months pp. dr said stitches & would dissolve. still there.

Ask your doctor.: This could be scar tissue. If a drain was left in, it should have been removed when it stopped draining. It can take some of the suture materials a long time to dissolve.
