I'm 2 weeks post op @ Chett
Today I was supposed to use the bigger dilator and a few hours ago I noticed a few stitches broke, between my vaginal opening and major labia. I'm not too sure though, but I think there's an open wound.
Tomorrow is sunday so the nurse is not coming.
They didn't give me any indication on what to do if that happens.
Is it ok to wait til monday?
Im too worried I can't sleep
If it's a small opening like a cut you might get on your hand, it will heal together over time. If it's a large opening and/or bleeding excessively, you should call the office and see if there is somebody on duty that you can talk to. It's not uncommon for stitches to come undone but I don't know what the limits would be.
If you are 2 weeks post op I guess you may have only a small gap that will heal over time
This is a very common problem and has been posted on the forum. I had this problem because I was over active and with the dilation the stitches came apart. Have the nurse check it out but unless its a major tear they will tell you to keep dilating. I had a miserable 3 weeks dilating with this tear causing a low level pain 24/7. It will get better and the scar will be unnoticable.
Thank you all for your reply.
It's not small, it doesn't bleed too much but I do bleed more than usual. It's in a place where there is a lot of movement so I'm not leaving the bed for now.
I should be ok though.
One girl here had her follow-up with Chett yesterday and wasn't doing so good so the nurse is supposed to come visit her this afternoon even though it's sunday, she'll ask her to see me before leaving. I'm relieved for now :)
Thank you all for your help!
Hope the nurse visited you this morning and assure everything is ok :)
hope the nurse visited and everything ok. If they not come you can always ring the number they gave you and they will send someone out. Hope you doing well, he operating on me Tuesday.
My thoughts are with you xxx
Thank you for your support!
Yes I've seen the nerve, she said it's no big deal and I have to wait for my appointment with Chett, and he'll see if it must be stitched or if it will heal by itself.
So everything's ok now. Though I don't want to leave my bed too much for now.
