Hey all!
I am wondering how long it should usually take for surgical wounds to heal? I wish I could just not poop for 3 weeks and let everything close nicely but I love food way too much.
I have 3 wounds:
- the fissure
- the incision site from LIS
- the skin tag removal site
The skin tag removal site is actually quite a big, open wound and is the main thing I can see when looking with a torch. The LIS incision wound is actually hard to see but there is a bruise. The fissure I think is right next to the tag removal site but the main thing I see is the large wound from the tag.
I am on day 8 post-op and feeling excellent. It's now my 4th day in a row with zero pain which is kind of nuts given the massive tag wound but I'm not complaining!! I do 3 sitz baths a day, light exercise, BMs are nice and easy.
What else should I do to help this healing and how long should I expect it to take?
