Can A Ooze Seen Before A Vasectomy A Cause Of Concern?
My husband had a vesectomy last friday, and starting about 2 days ago the pain has gotten worse, and he has begun to ooze something from the stitches. We have tried calling the dr office numerous times, leaving messages, and have yet to be contacted. What can we do?

Hello
Thanks for query .
Your husband has undergone Vasectomy few days back and now has oozing from the stitches .The oozing is strongly suggestive of wound infection .
Take antibiotics like Augmentin along with anti inflammatory medicine like Diclofenac twice daily .
Consult your operating surgeon for evaluation .He may need to open up one stitch to drain out the collected infected fluid .
Do not worry it will heal up within a week.
