I am 7 weeks out and yesterday one of my incisions started bleeding a little. I cleaned it with peroxide and it is still leaking today. Should I call the doctor??? I have an appointment with my PCP on Thursday and with the surgeon on the 13th.

Hi Becky, I would probably call just to be on the safe side. If it is red and swollen or hot to the touch I would call right away. I had an infection in the main incision on the left side. It was red and swollen and very warm. When Dr. Koler opened it. It drained a lot. Best of luck to you. I hope its not an infection. Otherwise you will be packing it twice a day until it heals.
