I had a hysterectomy a week ago and incision is infected

[Guest guest]

I had a hysterectomy last Thursday and my incision is infected. I am

cleaning it with hydrogen peroxide and putting neorsporin on it. I

have some emu oil, tea tree EO, and lavender 40/42 EO. Would it be

better to add some of the EOs to the emu oil and use that instead of

neorsporin? Other than that I am fine. I feel much better than I

thought I would. My doctor gave me a horemone shot during surgery to

last me a month. I see him next week for a checku[ and to discuss

how I want to handle hormones. Any ideas?

I'm kinda with Paula on this one, I wouldn't mess with a surgical wound.

 

Well, actually I did. One of my son's incision from his appendectomy became

infected. But in his case it was just titchy little incision and I watched

it like a hawk. 8 times a day I told him to lift his shirt, I drove him

NUTS.

 

The reason I'm with Paula on this one, is that because the incision was

healing, the infection was under the skin. Infection can rapidly turn into

something nasty and spread like crazy.

 

Man cub's infection did finally heal up, but not until it worked it's way to

the surface. It really isn't something you want to mess with.

 

As I said, I did it, but, A) it was a tiny incision, B) the infection was

also fairly minor and C) (most importantly of all), he was a bit gunshy of

doctors at that point. So I chose to watch, but if the redness had spread

the least bit, or the area became sore (er), if the wound had changed in any

way, we would have been in the Emergency room 10 minutes later (one of the

benifits of living so close to the hospital ;-) ).

 

Don't mess. " Hie thee to the Healer " .

 

Also, there is an article at Aromatic Sage debating the usefulness of EMU

oil. Worth reading.

Paula I definitely agree with this advice. My daughter had a C-section

when my grandson was born 6 months ago and came out of hospital

with a staph infection! It took mega antibiotics, unfortunately, to clear

it up...but an infected surgical incision is nothing to mess around with.

I totally agree, chances are its infected at the bottom of the wound, and will

have to be opened. Thats what happened to me, and it took awhile - it had to

granulate in , and I had to be on antibiotics,
