Question

Simply how many days the drain will come and why. But how to control it.had done varicose veins surgery but they kept drain for my right leg, since one month but it's still waste fluid was coming. How many days actually it come?

John Landi, MD · Answer

It is unusual to have a drain left in place following vein surgery so there must have been a reason to place the drain.  A genereal rule of thumb for removing drains is to remove them when the drainage either stops or reduces to a minimal amount.  Speak with your surgeon about the drain.

Thanks for your question.  Unfortunately we do not see this treatment here.  It is a very long time to have a drain in place. Everything is done with laser through tiny punctures (incisions) under local anesthetic.  Are you able to research somewhere to see a vascular surgeon for an opinion?  I wish you well. Sorry I cannot help you.
