A member asked:
My jp drain fell out was in for about month in half. colon resection from cancer. hole is still draining. blood and pus. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Any blood or pus coming out of any place of the body for any reason is not normal. Even abrasion with blood is not normal. Please see your doctor to make sure there is no infection in the area that needs to be treated and to put another drain if necessary. Good luck.
