What Is Causing The Stinging Sensation And Soreness Of My Stomach?

I am 5 weeks post-op from a tummy tuck with an umbilical hernia and muscle repair. Within the past week I have had burning/stinging sensations as well as all over soreness along the internal suture line and throughout my abdomen. I am wondering if this is a normal part of healing, or if I have somehow compromised my muscle repair. Thank you.

General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef , a general surgeon answering your query.

As it is already 5 weeks post operative, I would advise you to take appointment with your surgeon, and get it reviewed once although it could be a normal result of wound healing leading to wound contraction. Till then, you could go for an anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
