Fluid discharge after surgery

bulusengupta

I have my breast surgery on 10th December'2021. But now I have a fluid discharge of 90 cc. How long it will take to decrease it below 50 cc? It is almost 19 days after surgery

Are you being too active? I've was warned that too much exercise can cause excess fluid build-up.

That said, I think 2-3 weeks is pretty normal as far as keeping the drains in.
