Pulled tympanoplasty suture

2017-05-25 04:50:52
Ten days after surgery, I was itching behind my ear, and felt what seemed to be a loose scab. I pulled, and felt a small amount of thread like material, accompanied by mild to moderate bleeding. This stopped after around 5 minutes of direct pressure applied by cotton balls. Two stitches are notably pointing outward from the incision. Is this a cause for concern?

Hello there. I can understand your concern. I would have got a better idea is you had attached a picture of the area. Why don't you send me a picture and I will suggest what you have to do further. Or you can get it checked out by a general physician in person for further evaluation and management. . best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
