Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could The Art Of The Incision That Is Still Open After Vasectomy Lead To Infection?
I had vasectomy last week, the top part om my incision is still open and with little bleeding. Im afraid that it could lead to infection. I suspect that its starting to reopen but its hard to see because of its location. Its been 8 days now so Im concern, please advise. I left it open to air just wearing my scrotal support for days but it didnt dry up. now i tried to cover it with tagederm thin film so maybe i'll start clotting and seal the opening to promote better healing.
Based on your statement I would state that the upper part of incision has opened up However there is no risk of the wound getting infected as long as you are cleaning it properly and taking antibiotics .
It will get healed up as a secondary healing and will take 2-3 weeks .
