A member asked:

I recently had an excisional breast biopsy. what might i look for as far as symptoms of infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Red, swollen, pain : An infection in the wound manifests with redness, tenderness, swelling and sometimes with drainage of pus. In more severe cases you may develop fever, malaise and other systemic symptoms. Some swelling, bruising and pain after surgery is expected and is not necessarily abnormal. If you have any concerns, it is best to see your surgeon to be checked.
