Incision Opening 9 weeks post op

I have a question for all you wonderful ladies......9 weeks post-op one of my laproscopic incisions suddenly turned maroon and looked very angry. Not one to panic, I decided to wait and see, since prior to this my incision sites had looked fantastic! The next day the incision opened and started bleeding so off to urgent care I went, since my gyn dr was unavailable. The dr there said it was a pocket of fluid behind the incision site that had burst open and caused the incision to open as well. Not convinced of his answer, I am seeing a gyn dr today. Any answers from you all?

Sounds to me that the doctor is right. It could be a minor abscess. Did he give you antibiotics to deal with it?

I had something similar happen at three weeks when I thought I had healed. It was very scary as a LOT of green fluid poured down my leg. Turned out to be a wound infection that had to come out somewhere. I had been feeling sick already so the antibiotics helped clear the infection up, but it took a few weeks for the incision to close afterward. Now I'm good as new, but I quickly learned to take it easy. Best of luck!

Did you have a hard spot behind this incision?

I did. It was very hot as well.

Well the dr said it was an infection behind the incision. Dr also said it is very rare to have this happen so long after a surgery. On antibiotics and recheck in a week. Thanks for your help!
