Pus from the stitches 2 weeks after hernia surgery is not normal and may indicate a wound infection. You should contact your surgeon as soon as possible for an examination. Do not squeeze the wound or start antibiotics on your own unless prescribed.

Keep the surgical area clean and dry. Seek urgent medical care if you develop fever, increasing redness or swelling, severe pain, foul smelling discharge, or if the wound starts opening.

Visit your surgeon immediately.
