A member asked:
I had a c-section in july am told i have fluid collecting and would dissolve. one stitch opened am bleeding ,is it a good sign or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Concerned: Stitches from a surgery in July opening are concerning as they either should have reabsorbed or be removed. Bleedings so many month later at the surgical wound is certainly something that needs addressed promptly. Call your Obstetrician and if they are not available an urgent visit to your Emergency Room is warranted.
