Should my seroma be drained or not? 3 weeks post op TT.

Asked By:Lynn1106

At 3 weeks after TT my PS told me I had a small seroma develop. He said it is about 30cc and that it would be too small to drain and should resolve. I wear compression garment all the time. At 5 weeks the seroma does not appear any larger or smaller, there is no pain associated with it, but I can move the fluid around when pushing on my stomach. I am concerned that if left for too long it could turn into a pseudo bursa. Should I see about getting it drain under ultrasound, or give it more time?
