A member asked:
I had surgery to removed a cyst a few weeks ago. i had minor bleeding after the surgeon removed staples from my chest today. should i be worried?

not really: I suspect you either bled a bit from the staple line itself, or had a small hematoma evacuation. Keep it covered, just to protect your clothes, until there's no more drainage . If it persists, notify the surgeon, but i'm confident it will be self limited. Good luck.
