A member asked:
I have a jp drain from a bowl resection that went bad. ugh. but it is producing blood and puss around drain. tube has come out of body a bit. .?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drain irritation: Sounds pretty normal though not pretty itself. If the bulb on the jp is not staying compressed the vacuum seal may be compromised and the drain may no longer be working. If bleeding worsens or you find the skin around the drain getting redder and redder and painful seek evaluation.
