I had a c-seciton 16 WEEKS AGO and my incision is still open! (I did not have staples).I have a quarter size hole in the middle of my incision and it constantly oozes clear,yellow, and red fluid! It opened up 2 weeks after I had my son and all my doctor keeps doing is telling me to keep it clean and dry! I am so sick of going to the doctor and them not doing anything!! I am really worried that I am going to get an infection since it has been 16 weeks (almost 4 months). Does anyone have any advice on what I should do?????

GO TO A DIFFERENT DOCTOR!!! An opening wound like that can one be a sign of bigger problem and 2 leaves you suspectible to all kinds of nasty infections such as a staff infection (those are deadly, my daughter got one after a minor surgery could have lost her!!) PLEASE PLEAS E PLEASE GO GET A SECOND OPINION! In the meanwhile, keep it clean and sterile. Best soap is liquid dial, and keep it covered. I had a knee surgy where the incision turned inside out but no one knew because of the cast, and it healed really gross looking, had ot have it recut and and it still looks bad.
