Have A Bleeding Incision

Just got home and just woke from a tiny little nap to find my sweatshirt bloody :( It doersnt hurt, smell, not do I have fever or anything like that. Like I sprung a bit of a leak = I cleaned it and put a big band-aid on it and will keep an eye on it.

Anyone else with this experience? I would prefer to handle this at home than go back to the hospital, seeing as I just got back home lol.

I'd call your doctor and let him/her know about the bleeding. They will probably tell you to just keep an eye on it, but they MAY want to actually take a look at it just in case it needs a stitch. Err on the side of caution since these incisions go all the way through and aren't just cuts on the outside layer of your skin.

Good luck!! :)

my biggest incision seemed like it took forever to heal,and at my first post op I showed him,and he said to clean it couple of times a day with hydrogen peroxide and instead of a bandaid which would keep it moist,put cotton gauze on it,easier for it to dry out and as a precaution gave me antibiotics
