Have I got an infection?
cookie wrote:Unfortunately an infection is just one of the risks we take when having this surgery hun and aside from not smoking and keeping the wounds clean there isn't anything else you can do to avoid infection.
I did everything right and still got an infection, but thankfully it cleared up with a course of anti-bs. xx

Hello debbie, I would get the wound checked out hun, if it smells that could be a sign of infection. Let us know how you get on. xx

Definitely get it checked out - if it's infection it's probably mild at this point and they'll be able to fix it with antibiotics. They also may want to close up the suture again.
Please call your hospital and let us know how you get on.
