C section scar - bleeding

Im nearly 6 week PP. I had an emergency c section - I have noticed that my scar has been bleeding. Having suffered with infections ever since I had the operation I am cautious what this could mean. Has anyone else experienced this or do I need to contact triage?

This could be due to the scar opening, this happened to me around the same time, I had infections which never got treated properly and my scar opened up in 3 places. Deffo contact triage! They initially recommended to me to keep it uncovered but it ended up stay opening for a couple months until I finally saw a nurse who gave me iodine patches and dressings to keep it covered and healed within 10 days!

I had some bleeding too with my emergency c section wasn’t much but it would bleed when I dried the area. Did show the dr she said it looked fine. Bleeding just stopped itself after a while but if you’re concerned then definitely get it checked out

Happened to me with my first. It was infected and bled for weeks while they were trying to figure the right course of antibiotics. Eventually saw a nurse that gave me some Haelan tape. It was healed in a few days with the tape and keeping it open. I’ll suggest you call the triage or GP.

Mines been 2 years I still get itchy and it sometimes bleeds

Happened to me but the shocking part is it happened 8 months pp. I went to the hospital that I had my delivery in and they treated me with some ointment and tape. I would suggest to see triage
