Asked By:Kalu4ka in Keansburg, NJ

I am 18 days after TT and still draining a lot- around 100 ml/24 hours. But the main problem is clots inside tubes. These drain can be separate at 2 tubes, one I clean regulary, but in one wich inside my body always blocking by blood clots. How I can remove these clots in tube inside my body to make fluid go easyer in reservuir?
