A member asked:
How can i tell if my hysterectomy incision is infected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infection: If the incision is red (especially redness extending out from the incision) swollen, or draining i would suspect infection. Of course elevated temperature and increasing pain are also worrisome signs.
