Incision won’t heal, 4+ months post op
Ugh. My c section incision will not heal and I’m feeling dismissed by my OB. Back at my 6 week follow up a brought up how the right side was still sensitive to the touch and felt kind of like a burning sensation under the skin when I made certain movements. I was told that’s normal. At 12 weeks post op, I was working around the house and the incision popped open, less than a cmand drained fluid for over a week. I was given a round of antibiotics then, and asked if I was diabetic, which I am not.
I went two weeks later and was told to keep it dry and it would heal. My ob just got eyes on it but didn’t even touch it to feel for any issues under the skin. Since then it continues to open and I fear the fascia has separated underneath. I requested imaging and was given a ct scan without contract which said there was no liquid pulling underneath but it did not detect anything related to the deeper layers of the incision.
I have another follow up with my OB today. What should I be asking? I have never had to advocate so hard for myself but I know this isn’t normal and I’m so scared if I don’t fix the underlying issue I’ll end up with a hernia in the future.
