Asked By:sumssums in White Plains, NY

Hi. I had a full drain less TT with MR on 10/10. A week after I went to my PS I could feel some fluid in my tummy. He insert a seroma-cath. Since then I have every day more than 100ml fluid. First it was very dark and now it gets brighter but the amount doesn't change. I do wear my compression garment 24/7. I try to rest a lot but why do I still accumulate so much fluid. On Monday it's 3 weeks already. I don't fell sick and the fluid looks uninflected. What is wrong with my healing process?
