what is the best care for a verticle hysterectomy incision at home

[Chilli5]

I'm sorry, I may be in the wrong place to ask this question.  I had a complete hysterectomy May 6.  I have a 8-9 in. verticle incision.  I have a very very large fibroid  tumor.  The incision is starting to seperate and bleed a little.   What is the best care for this incision until my doctor's app. Friday.  Thanks for you help.

Yes, call your doctor.  I also had a verticle incision which completely opened up a week after surgery (3 inches deep, 8 1/2 inches long).  I had to have the wound cleaned and repacked every day and was put on a strong antibiotic.  You don't want to get an infection!

Call your doctor immediately and tell him what is going on.
