Asked By:Itsybitsyteenyweenie in Kingdom City, MO

Hi there, I had my BR surgery 2 weeks ago and had my dressings removed on Monday. The nurse said everything is looking fine but since I have noticed a little bit of yellow/red fluid stains on my bra where my wound is underneath my right breast so I have put a little dressing on it. I was just wondering is this normal? Or should I get it looked over by the nurse again? I don't have any pain with it and I don't want to bother my nurse if it's nothing I should be concerned about.
