Bruising on thighs after mastectomy, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unusual: Ask? I wonder if some of the team laid instruments in the thigh are and you are easily bruised . We usually put an instrument pad, mat in the lower surgical field. Or bumped something in process of movements to rooms, recovery, post op. .? Any other sites? Aspirin or anti platelet medications?
