Fluid in the c-section scar?
953314
After my c-section, because I was overweight, my scar had a hard time closing at the bottom.( I was cut from the navel down). It was because of the roll of fat. I had to lay down and hold the roll up to air it out. I also had to put peroxide on the scar. I haven't had any more problems since. What is happening to you sounds so wrong. Your doctors should be paying more attention to you and I can't believe that they are doing nothing about it. It could be infected. It sounds like your scar on the inside didn't heal correctly.I would see what the doctor says and if there are problems, consult a lawyer.Seriously. 3 years is a long time to be going through this. Good luck.

I've had my tubes tied, but I got it done at the same time I had my c-section (well, immediately following, I guess), so it would be hard for me to tell what pains came from where...\n\nnever had any complications.\n\ngood for you, nursing for so long!\nI nursed my first baby for 10 months and my second for 13 months.

better consult a professional about this...think that was not normal, maybe you got some cut/ lacerated   tissue down there...

If you didn't take care of it after you had the C-section then there may not be much you can do. But there are many creams that can be used as lighteners to help reduce the appearance of scars or take them away permanently. Just don't use anything you find on the market ask your doctor for more advice.

I have had one removed.  They will shoot you up with local anesthesia, it doesn't hurt a bit.  Maybe a bit of pressure/pulling sensation, but no pain.  Use Neosporin scar solution or vitamin E oil afterward to prevent scarring.  Good luck!

It can be, I would alternate between rubbing some Abreva on it and plain old neosporin.  Keep the area clean but moist, dryness will make it crack and start to bleed more.  You poor thing!  I feel so bad for you.  They really hurt don't they!  Take it easy and I hope this helps and that you heal and feel better soon!

Yes, it is normal.  There is a lot of fluid in there after wards and it takes a while for it to all drain out.

Not usually.  I have 5 kids and thier cords all came off at different times with my last baby loosing his in the first week. \nJust be sure to keep it clean with alcohol and watch for any excess oozing.  If you're uneasy about it, you should give the doctor a call or even try calling the nurses at the hospital where you gave birth.  \nRemember, a little bleeding from the site is quite normal.\nGood luck and congrats on the new baby!!!!!

My mom had this done last summer ...  she bled for almost 2 weeks, and cramped and was plain old miserable. you probably have a couple more days to go, but my mom said the doctor said she could bleed for up to 4 weeks without being a cause for concern. good luck, stay well.

I had a lumpectomy in April and I can tell you at first there isn't all that much draining. But when I was home it did drain. You have to measure the fluid and write it down to show to the doctor. When it get to a point where he wants it the drains come out. \nIf you need more info email me and I will be happy to answer your questions. Help your mom where you can , she will get though this like many of us.

I had a similar problem in 2000.  I had a 2cm nodule on my right thyroid, so they took that "lobe" of my thyroid out and left the other side, since there was no problem with my function.  The surgery went really well.  The surgeon made a larger than usual incision all across my neck so he could look at both sides, but sometimes, they can get away with only cutting on the side that they want to remove.  Either way, a really good surgeon will plan his incision in a place that will be mostly unnoticible, or where a common place for a neck wrinkle is or will be.\n\nI work weekends, so I had my surgery on Monday and did not take any time off.  I remember waking up very thirsty and was quite sore for the first few days, but after that, no problem.  You will kinda feel like Frankenstein, especially if the surgeon uses "staples" to keep his cut closed, but I think the use of staples decreases the chance of stitch infection and also decreases the scarring that can occur.  I was told to buy some "Mederma" to put on the area after the staples were removed, and to use triple antibiotic ointment while the wound was still healing.  The Mederma is a very good way to help heal the scar, it decreases scarring in most situations, and I even tried it on stretch marks after my first pregnancy.  Pretty good product that is a little pricey, but you only have one neck.\n\nI still get my thyroid checked once a year, and if my free TSH levels are ever off, my doctor will probably prescribe a hormone supplement, like synthroid, to keep me on track.  I hope you have just as easy a surgery as I did, and that you have no problems.  Make sure you have all the risks explained to you and that you feel comfortable with your doctor, which is advice I'd give to anyone about any surgical procedure.  Good Luck

Sorry, I read that wrong when I answered the first time!  With all the misspelling at this site, I tend to read between the lines!\n\nIt is not uncommon for some patients to experience light vaginal bleeding and cramping for a few hours after the procedure. Patients who experience heavy bleeding, fever greater than 101°F, foul smelling vaginal discharge, chills or severe and persistent abdominal pain are advised to call the office. It is common to have spotting for one to two days after the procedure as the result of placement of the tenaculum onto the cervix, and not from intrauterine bleeding.  http://haveababy.com/baby/hystero.asp\n\nAND:\n\nIt is normal to have a small amount of vaginal bleeding for a day or so after a hysteroscopy. You also may have some mild abdominal discomfort from the gas that was inserted during the procedure. This discomfort should go away within 24 hours after the procedure. You can take acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) to relieve the discomfort.  \n\nCall your doctor if you have:\n\nHeavy vaginal bleeding or discharge. \nFever. \nSevere abdominal or pelvic pain or cramping. \nProblems urinating. \nShortness of breath. \nVomiting. \nhttp://www.webmd.com/hw/chronic_pelvic_pain/tw9811.asp\n\nSo, if you have not called your doctor yet, please do!  The doctor's office is there to provide care to you, so take advantage of it!

I have known a lot of people who have had this surgery. The surgeon always ensures that the line is as small as possible and ideally in a crease line. \nInitially the scar is quite obvious whilst it is still healing. Once it is healed you hardly notice anything. It is very small and faint. Often I have not noticed until people have told me about it.\nOne other thing I would like to mention is that I would take your surgeons advice. S/he would not operate unless it was necessary.\nGood luck.

Hello! A D&C is short for dilatation and curretage. What they do is insert metal probes into your cervix to dilate it and then once the cervix is open they curretage (or scrape out) the contents of your uterus. (Usually used when a fetus has not been expelled or to treat excessive or prolonged uterine bleeding)Here is what you can expect during your stay:\nPrior to surgery: \n1-Shower and possible enema\n2-surgical consent form\n3-cleansing of abdominal and perineal area, possible shaving of the perineal area\n4-You will probabably not be able to eat from midnight on the night before your surgery. \n5- You may have an IV started.\nAfter Surgery-\nYou will have bleeding and discomfort. Pain varies on how extensive your D&C was as well as your personal tolerance for pain. Most women do not experience severe pain.\n1-Use perinal pads (NOT TAMPONS) for two weeks. This prevents infection and allows tissues to heal.Also do not take baths until bleeding has stopped.\n2-Avoid sexual intercourse until post-op check-up is complete and doctor has cleared sexual activity.\n3- Avoid heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks.\n4- You will bleed and may experience pain that feels like an intensified menstrual cramp.\n5- You may be tired for a few days. Take it easy and relax.\n6- You can use a pillow to splint your abdomen so you can cough and experience less pain.\n7- After surgery you will most likely be on a clear liquid diet and will gradually move to a regular diet. \n8- Your next menstrual cycle may be delayed and start later than usual.\nWithout being aware of what exactly they are performing a biopsy on I can only guess that it is a uterine growth of sorts. Many things can cause uterine growths. Biopsy results may take a long time to get back. I hope things work out for you and please feel free to e-mail me with any questions. Good luck! -Nykki

I've heard that it does but consider this a jellyfish sting is honestly an open wound it might be slight in conparison to ... i dont know having a C-section but it's still an open wound and the urin is full of all kinds of bacteria do you really want to take the chance of some sort of nasty infection by introducing that bacteria in to your body.

Ask your doctor about stripping the membranes.  It is basically a rough exam where he/she pushes around inside of you to help things move along.  It is uncomfortable, but well worth it to get the little bun out of the oven.  Worked like a charm for me with my second one.
