Accepted Answer

Hello. : Hello. I certainly hope that your bleeding has stopped. It has been some time since your surgery. Do they plan to get another  ct scan to see if blood has resorbed or if there is still bleeding?  Often surgeons work in treatment teams, where they can ask for input from colleages. If your surgeon isn't sure how he or she plans to proceed, ask if obtaining a second opinion would be helpful.

Question 10

what to do with 840 mililiters blood  in abdomen after hernia surgery had hernia repair surgery on testicle  was in bad pain 2 weeks later  dr said blood floating around in abdomen

Accepted Answer

Many : Many times the blood you are talking about is bodily fluids tinged with blood. Sometimes you don't even have to drain that fluid. I'm assuming they did because you have an exact measure of 840 milliliters... Either way many times a collection of bodily fluids or even frank blood as long as the bleeding stopped is left alone for your body to deal with.
