    Hi girls I have a tiny hole in my incision which has been leaking fluid. I have no pain and no infection but it is still worrying. Apparently it’s caused by the disolvable stitches.

    I had this after my BA, exact same as you although mine was right at the end of the incision, turned out it was a dissolvable stitch slightly poking out and as soon as that was ready to come out it healed right up but had to keep a plaster over it to stop it rubbing or getting attached to clothing when it dried… ouch lol just keep an eye on it xx

    My hospital put iodine on mine I think it was and it dried and healed within a few days x x x

    Mine started leaking in Thursday. They put iodine on it. It was ok for a day then started again this morning. Stitch from inside poking through.

    I also had this at 11 weeks po. It was a yellowish lump right on my incision, no pain or anything. Anyway it burst the next morning so I went to nurse to have it checked., turned out to be a stitch abscess it’s just the bodies way of getting rid of it if it doesn’t dissolve . I’ve had no issues since.
    Hope this help

    As it turns out I have to have the implant removed as the scar has gone apart and the implant is showing. I am proper gutted. Not sure if the other one is breaking down too. Have to go back on Thursday to have it removed.

    Had one out today. Feel a little deflated in more ways than one but looking forward to having it fixed. He could not explain why it happened either as I had no infection but at least it won’t be long to have to wait xx
