Will Undissolved Stitch Of A Prolapse Repair Lead To Further Complications?

I had a prolapse repair in Nov 2009. I have had a leakage of pinky, yellowy water since which has an odour to it. My doctor has now found a stitch has not dissolved. How will it be treated and are there any possible side effects from this. I also have a dull acHe all the time in the area. The dotor said it is nflamed.

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

If unfortunately it's not dissolved, it is definitely needed to be removed. And that is inflamed too. So it's obligatory to be removed. It can be done through Minimally Invasive Surgical approach in which you do not give a large incision. Only 5mm and 10mm holes and you may go home after some couple of hours.

If we don't remove the stitch, it will cause rupture of the organ in which it is placed at the moment. It will cause severe inflammation with passage of time. It's very wise to get it removed as soon as possible.

Hope I answered all of your questions. In future, if you need further, detailed and quick assistance on any health issue, feel free to click on 'Ask me a question' directly from my profile. Have a wonderful time ahead.
