A member asked:

I had a tubel ligation 5yrs ago and i have been having some pain in my belly button and some pus is coming and i still have my suture what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very unusual: See your doctor as your sutures should have dissolved within 8 weeks after your surgery. If non-absorbable suture was used, it could be causing an infection. Please see your surgeon as soon as possible so he/she may remove the suture if that is indeed what is causing the infection.
