Help. What could this be? It looks like a small thread and is inside. I was not stitched, I had surgical glue. Should I be worried?

You would have had stitches inside lovely. It's a stitch coming out. Sometimes they do if they don't dissolve your body starts to reject it and push it out. Quite common x

Judging by the fact it's coming out I'm guessing your 3-5 weeks pp?x
Ohh, I didn't think of that, thank you very much for reassuring me. Do I need to call the doctor to remove the wire?
I m 7 weeks PP , but i have this from 5…

It will be a little stitch. It's likely mostly dissolved so you could give a small pull and it'll come out by yourself. If it's tight then maybe go see your Dr. It's a stitch, not a wire so shouldn't be difficult as long as it's not still tied inside. X

They usually dissolve within 2 weeks so the body starts to reject them if they don't dissolve hence my 3-5 week guess. X
thank you so much!!

Yes, definitely a stitch. I had this happened to me around about 4 weeks. I was told to leave it and be careful to not catch it. So just wear big nickers of you're not already and when drying the area, dab it more gently. It went away about a week later x
Thank you very much for reassuring me, I thought that thread would cause an infection and I was worried. Xx 💋

No, it should go soon by itself. Just keep an eye on that area, if it starts to go red/ warm to touch or leak then definitely give you doctor a call.
I literally panicked about everything with my scar, I'm 8 weeks PP now and still get scared of infection 😆 x

I would call OB or ON CALL DOCTORS
I will definitely do it in the morning. Xx❤️

Do not pull. I had the same at around 4 weeks pp and scratched it which caused it to start bleeding. It's all gone now

Its a stitch I've had this before keep clean and is it hurts or gets hot have it checked but other than thatas others have said it will resolve itself.
