Is it normal for you to feel nausea after drainage tube are removed?

Question

Gary Lawton, MD, FACS · Answer

The pain from the drain removal is probably what caused the nausea.  Some patients get light headed, even from the concept of the removal.

William Andrade, MD · Answer

Thanks for your inquiry.  It is not uncommon for people to feel a little nauseous when drains are removed.  This usually passes quickly.  People can get anxious about drain removal but usually it is well tolerated with little discomfort.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Seeing drains removed from your body can be emotionally stimulating. Some patients may feel nausea or even faint. It's perfectly normal.

Shayne Webb, MD · Answer

That is a relatively common response especially for anyone who is sqeamish.  Though there is no pain involved in the removal of the tubes, some people have a vagal response similar to fainting at the site of blood.  Take care and good luck.

This is absolutely normal and we do see it periodically. Typically patients feel fine after a few minutes and go on without a problem.Good LuckStephen M. Davis, MD, FACSGreen Hills Plastic Surgery
