Breast Cancer Wound Drainage Problems

It will not increase the recurrence rate, but it will affect the recovery of the wound. After breast cancer surgery, the subcutaneous trauma is very big, which leads to a lot of exudation, first of all, pay attention to observe the character of the drainage fluid, whether it is thin and bloody or other colors, if it is thin and bloody fluid, then it is exudation, and you can consider to give the pressure dressing outside of the wound, and pay attention to the whole surgery where there is a subcutaneous trauma to be pressurized.

There is another reason for the wound to ooze more, is that the patient's plasma colloid osmolality, in short, the blood protein is low, pay attention to strengthen the nutrition, eat more high-protein food.

If it is not oozing but, for example, lymphatic fluid or blood, it is estimated that it is caused by the damage during the surgery, and may need to be re-sutured if necessary.
