Sorry to hear what you are going through now. It is really scary for me, and not sure how doctors react to an apparent infection without trying to clear it? What will happen after you complete the 2 days remaining of antibiotics? If the infection didn't yet reach the implant, it will do that very s...

Re: Infection on Incision Day 18
I was yesterday to my local urologist, she saw the incision she said it is still infected. I was sent to hospital where i got this surgery from. Surgeon who performed the surgeon is on holidays for next 3 weeks, so no chance he can have a look on it. His assosiates are young doctors, mostly have no...

What do you suggest? Shall i put sterile bandages or leave it open to get some air?

My only real concern was getting an infection and my doctor said to make sure that I take my antibiotics. Besides the antibiotics, I made sure to stay clean an...
