30 days post op slight bleeding anyone had a similar experience?
Hi all, I had my appendix out about 30 days ago. My recovery has actually been going really well, but this morning when I woke up I had a small amount of dried blood around the wound just below my belly button. It seemed strange because the wound looked to be healing well, the scab came off about one week ago and since then it’s just looked like a scar, no pain, no redness. It’s all looked fine until this morning with a little bit of blood.
I just got back from my GP and he said it’s doesn’t look infected and isn’t actively bleeding right now or anything but that this is a bit unusual and it shouldn’t be bleeding at this stage. He prescribed some antibiotic cream and said to monitor it over the weekend to make sure it doesn’t get infected.
I just wanted to ask if anyone else had a similar experience with their wounds. Like I said, it looked completely closed and tbh it still does I can’t really tell where the bleed has come from. Thanks 🙏
