How would i get more comfort with drains after double masectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tough one: Make sure dressing around drains on well so they don't tug. Fold a 4x4 gauze in half put under the drain close to where it coming out from the skin and do the same above the drain. And place tape to hold in place, should help.
