sneezing with stitches

I had a partial thyroid operation on the 24th january 2008, they found a benign cyst which rather largebut was successfully removed along with the left thyroid. the scar healed very well, but sometimes it feels as through the muscles tighten in my throat, its this an after effectof the operation.

I feel like I'm an 80 yr old women, who's pushed out 10 kids! Everytime I sneeze, I pee :(. Its either wear a pantiliner all day, or walk around with wet panties. I'm only 11weeks and 2 days, and know this is only going to get worse and not better...

Coughing and sneezing while you have stitches can be a real problem, not to mention painful. Even if your cold is gone by then, keep in mind that you need to hold a pillow to your stomach before coughing or sneezing to lessen the pull it will put on the tender surgical sites. You will also have a very dry/sore throat post-op so if your throat hurts beforehand...well you know it will only feel worse afterwards.

I highly doubt that laughing hard could hurt the baby. They are so protected in there right now that a natural thing such as laughing, sneezing, coughing, vomiting.. etc is perfectley safe. I wondered the same thing about coughing like a maniac when I had a cold but everyone said I was crazy. I'm sure your doctor told you what things to avoid since you had your stitch placed and its doubtful laughter was one of them.

C sections have a lot longer recovery time and it leaves a big scar.

Thanks for sharing. We dont have epidurals in my place. Its a small town.

If anyone remembers, I had a sore throat for a few days that was really painful. It's calmed down a lot to where I don't even feel it. But now I am constantly sneezing! I mean at least 200 sneezes just today. I'm constantly blowing my nose and when I'm not sneezing I have the urge to constantly. I do cough but I think it's just getting over the sore throat I did have. I literally just broke down crying earlier because I'm sneezing so much.

Okay I have 2 children already a 4 year old and a 2 year old I am now pregnant with my 3rd child I'm 29 weeks today and I'm really starting to get nervous about ripping when I have the baby with my first son they said I didn't need any stitches with my 2nd child I had her at home she came really fast and I needed stitches is there a chance I might tare with this baby too

With my first child I did. I had an epidural & before the baby head came out they snipped me. Didn't feel a thing. Too much going on anyway. After delivery they stitched me up, I could totally feel it, so they gave me an local anesthesia, my epi wore off. After, didn't bother me at all. They gave me a cold pad to put on and some kind of tucks wipes that you place on your stitches until they heal. JUst keep yourself clean and by my 6wk check up I was healed & fine.

s been about 36hrs and I need to clean my wound. Under the bandages and over the stitches are Steri strips. Should I remove these strips to clean the wound? It looks like a difficult procedure as there are lots of them and they maybe still aiding the stitches to keep the wound together.

i had stitches with my twins. by 3-4 weeks mine were gone. but i bled till week 6. i wasn't allowed to take baths until after my 6 wk appointment but i did use a hot water bottle which relieved the pressure and soreness.

Mum's who've had stitches after birth what did you do to relieve pain? Panadol just isn't enough tonight.

My son had stitches in his legs yesterday now his foot feels cold is that right?

So I had my baby 8 days ago and had some minor tearing and got stitches. Well I finally found out where my stitches are a couple of days ago and in the worse way.... While taking a bm, they are right next to my bhole! Ahh! Has anyone ever had stitches like this before? How did you manage? I feel like I can't even handle my business in the restroom anymore and I'm even afraid to go to the restroom.

I have had an operation on my hand and recieved ten stitches. Three weeks after the stitches were removed i have found three still left in my hand. The surgeon suggested that i wait till my hand is fully recovered and then he will remove them under general anesthetic as a local has proved unsuccessful. It will be another week or two before they are removed. Are there riskd involved in leaving them there for so long.

Take some tyenol and squirt some warm water on your stitches with the bottle they give you that always helped me hope you feel better

Never had stitches that were removable with my c sections... First one was staples second was disolvable stitched and glue no tape 3rd was the same with tape. I would say leave it alone!!!!
