Blood on steri strip - normal?
Hi! Sorry in advance if i'm making an unnecessary fuss!
I changed my steri strips for the first time since the nurse did it a week after my op.
The steri strip (just on one side) has blood and gungy stuff on it and i looked closer at my incision and its bleeding, so i think i've just opened it up again by pulling the strip off.
I am only 11 days post op so is this normal? I'm confused because its just on one side.
Thanks girlies!!

There's never a fuss lovely
You're fine. A little bleed is to be expected from the wounds early post-op until they're fully healed.
The only time you'd need to contact your clinic over a bleed would be if it wasn't able to be stopped and dressings were sodden. Anything other than that is nothing at all to be concerned about hun. xx

Just to set your mind at rest a little more I too had a little bit of blood on mine when I was early PO and had no problems... just a little isn't anything to be concerned about :thumbs: x
