ellesbelle is right. Any oder that is offensive or that lasts more than a couple of days needs to be reported to your doctor. Some odor is to be expected, but it should not be offensive - it shouldn't "stink". Call your doctor if this happens to you.

I had the "smell" a few weeks after surgery. It went away and has returned after 3-4 months. I am a bit concerned since it left for a long bit and came back. The pain came back as well. I was told I could do "anything" but it sure doesn' t feel like it!

Please get it checked out and do not suffer, even if its normal its better to find out than to sit on it and then find out you have an infection which it seems is what I have.
I really wish I had rang my Gyny sooner.

Take care and be well.

Has your odor gone away....hope so by now, its end of April....fyi....i had odor for 2-3 wks....finally couldn't take it any longer. went to the MD and had an infection which MD said was very common. On antibiotic now....Dont let it go on for 2 long if you haven't already done something

Did he look to see or take sample? I had bad smell for 2 to 3 wks....finally couldnt take it any longer, went in and had an infection which MD said was very common from the healing process. On an antibiotic now and smell is gone.

Now I've got the Smelly Cat song going through my head The Friends episode in which the cat had horrendous gas, and they were all taking turns singing lines of the Smelly Cat song.

Yes, I have a smelly cat too

Morning girls;
I had a TVH on 2/24 and I have not had that smell yet does anyone think this is a problem?I went for a internal on the 20th dr said I still have stiches inside has anyone taken this long to heal? I still have swelly belly.

I am in my 6th week now. No sign if stitches in panties and no smell. I asked dr about it on Friday and he said my stitches had dissolved and my cuff was still healing (scar tissue still he said). Said no sex for a few weeks more. No problem! The internal didn't feel that great so happy to wait.
