A member asked:
Abdominal pain 12 weeks after hernia surgery? component separation and mesh used. incision still minor drainage near sternum. surgeon says okay. you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drainage is not norm: The drainage has me concerned. The pain is expected. Are you having fever? Any nausea? Is the wound bright red? You could get a CT Scan or YS to look for an infection. However, I would trust your surgeon. Ask him what is causing the drainage
