On April 29 (3 weeks post op), I woke up feeling nauseous and immediately had to make a bowel movement (twice). My breasts felt fine but, I noticed a smell that was not there. Throughout the day I was freezing but apparently the house was warm, and still nauseous with stomach pain. I waited to see if I would be fine, but the next day there is still an odor and later on I began to feel nauseous again with a headache. I also started my menstrual cycle so I dont know if it is because of that.
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.
After my breast reduction my right armpit was extremely painful. Two weeks post op and the pain is a little tender. Now I have extremely bad odor. Initially it was worse from the right armpit and now both smell very strong. I shower daily and as soon as I get out the smell returns. I was washing them with antibacterial soap, but that dried them out and they have been peeling. I stopped using antibacterial soap and moisturize with coconut oil. I don't use a deodorant to avoid harmful ingredients.
Hi,over the last couple of days I have noticed an odour form my right breast,it's not foul more a weeping smell I do what've some yellowish fluid leaking as well,I still have my steri strips on so can not see the site,I'm due for these to be changed on Wednesday,they were changed two weeks ago.

I just slight moved my dressing and the smell is quite offensive I'm due for dressing change and appointment Wednesday. is it possible it's an infection? Regards lynette
I had a breast reduction one and a half weeks ago. Although I shower daily and change the dressings, I am noticing an odor from the nipple graft area. I am losing sleep and worried that there is an infection going on. Please help ease my mind.
