2 weeks post TT Dark brown blood drainage from incision, should I be worried? (photo)

TxGirlOnFlatNov 30, 2018
I am 2 weeks post op and just started draining dark brown fluid from a tiny site on my incision. There is no foul odor and is thin in consistency. I noticed it leaking about 2 days ago but was minimal. This morning I woke up completely soaked and it was running down my leg. I’ve sent a message over to my surgeon but I am still waiting. Should I be concerned that the fluid is increasing? I did slightly tighten my binder yesterday because i felt my binder was loose and i was having discomfort.

I encourage you to speak with your surgeon about your concerns. Compression garments are made with various amounts of compression. You may be better suited for a garment with less compression since you are three weeks into recovery.
