smelly?!

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hi ladies. I'm now just over 2 weeks post op for posterior repair surgery. Bleeding has now calmed down but I do notice a smell and a slight clear oozing from the outside stitches. I'm feeling ok, no fever or aches. Is this normal or possible infection ? 😕x

    Hi,

    I am week and a half post surgery (same as yours) I have this awfyl smell coming out my privates 😁 Too... I asked my dr about it and he told me not to worry about it, it's common to have this unplacent odor for a few weeks.

    Hugs

    I had the same and after a lot of aggro was put on antibiotics that has got rid of the odour so must have been an infection, if in doubt go to your GP X best wishes xxx

    I had the same and am still in antibiotics a week on but 3 days of taking them and it's stopped I would say go to your gp rather be safe than sorry x
