What Causes Burning Sensation Around Incision Scar After A Month Of Hysterectomy?
Question: I'm having a burning pain under my scar on my right side where I was cut for my Historectomy a month ago is it possible I may have torn stitches & what do I need to do although I have noticed the pain becomes worse when I need to have a bowel movement but the pain eases some but not all the way
Brief Answer:
Not due to torn stitches.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The burning pain under the scar line after a month of surgery is likely to be due to superficial nerve fiber involvement in the scar tissue. This is not suggestive of torn stitches. If the stitch line is healthy, not swollen without any discharge then there is no need to worry. This burning pain will decrease with a cold compress on the area. This should subside on its own in few days.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Do get yourself examined.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the pain is acute and you cannot even move without feeling pain then it is best to get yourself examined. There can be some problem with the internal stitches.
Hope my answer is helpful.
