Hello doctor. I operated on appendix 2 weeks ago, 4 days after surgery, the hospital nurses cut the stitches and let me go home. I see that my body is also much better, in general, the 2 incisions in the right and left iliac fossa are pain free. However, there is still an incision in the navel with signs of pain around the navel, I press my hand around the navel to find it hard and painful. Although the incision in the navel has healed, there is no sign of infection. The doctor told me that the appendix incision in the navel is hard and painful. I thank you.

Answer
Hello! Regarding the incision in the navel, if there is no swelling, redness, no discharge or pus, it will be monitored further, because the incision will need more time to fully recover.
If the appendix incision is red and swollen, there is no discharge or pus, then you should go to the doctor again. Through examination, the doctor can specifically assess the condition of the appendix incision in the navel, which is hard and painful.
