A member asked:

Is a liquid discharge from a postoperative wound normal after 5 weeks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Amy Levin answered

No: If your incision was closed at the time of surgery, it should be well healed by now. Drainage could be blood trapped under the skin or possibly an infection. You should have it evaluated by your surgeon.
