Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Had a laparotomy 5 1/2 weeks ago, started light swimming after 3 weeks and been doing a lot of walking. Now wanting to go out cycling next weekend? No real pain anywhere just slight discomfort towards bottom of scar I think where my belt has been rubbing.
Hi. The nature of healing does not change... It takes almost 1 weeks to get the stitches removed 3 weeks for a good healing 3 months for a great strength 9 months on-wards the readjustments is slowed.
Since you are in the stage of reshaping of the strength ., please do not try something that will strain the healing area.
