Im about two weeks in my recovery from a breast reduction, and I noticed that my left incision was leaking a tiny bit (the fluid was thin and yellow-ish and doesnt have any smell). After showering I noticed I had a small opening where my incisions meet, so I assume a scab must have fallen off before it was ready to and thats what caused the leaking. Right now I put a bandaid over the opening with some Neosporin to keep the area clean. Should I be doing anything else?
I had breast reduction 6 weeks ago! But unfortunately I've developed some bad wounds! They leak daily & I still have to cover them with dressings! I showed it to my Surgeon last week as I was worried about infection, but he said its not a problem & should heal up! The discharge is not smelly and I'm feeling perfectly fine! I don't have fever & my breasts aren't so painful! I only have slight pain & irritation at the wound sites! I still am really concerned :-( and I appreciate your help! Thanks
It's been draining pretty bad since the first surgery and started to again 2 days after the second surgery. It also has a funky odor. Is this normal and how long should it take for it to stop draining? It only happened on the right side and the left side has been perfect.
I had a breast REDUCTION and lift on the 20th of March in Miami Fl. I live in Texas. I have been writing and sending video to him but he has just advised me to see my PCP. I have an appointment with her Tuesday. My problem is, I am losing a lot of blood. I wake up 2 or 3 times a night and have to change my dressings becouse I am soaked in yellowish, pinkish blood and puss. Is this normal amount of leakage?how do I close the wounds? Who should i go see and how soon? I'm in so much pain.
I had breast reduction surgery on 1/8/18 but a couple days ago I noticed foul smelling pus coming from my incision site. I saw my PS yesterday who said it isnt anything to be worried about and to wash with soap, keep it dry, and put a band aid on it. My next appointment with him isnt until 2/6/17 and I am worried that the wound is getting worse and may need more care than I am giving it. The other breast is starting to leak the same pus. What should I do?
Infection worsened 2 weeks ago, and noticed redness around incision and pain had increased tremendously. An abscess had formed that busted open in the shower. Severe plasma leakage. My PS prescribed antibiotic for infection and said it just needed to continue to drain. A whole remains that has been draining steadily for 2 weeks. The pain comes and goes. How long is normal for it to drain? How long before it closes? Is all this pain normal? Should something else be done to aid with healing?
Hello Im a 24 year old female and I'm 31 days post opt from breast reduction reduction. Within the last week I have notice some stinging and sporadic pain that shoots through my left breast along with greenish/yellowish pus that smells horrible it comes out and leaks. I have not had any fevers. In the past I have suffered from hidradenitis suppurativa not sure that's connected. I'm just trying to see if this is normal?
