Thanks for your help Paul.
I had 300ml of blood and fluid drained today and it feels so much better. My surgeon said it could happen again, but at least now i know what it is and what to do.
I really appreciate that people like you are around to help.
Hi there.
Two things come to my mind when things like this happens. The first and most probable is that there can be an expanding hematoma in the surgery site, or areas of blood clots or blood collection. There may be a blood vessel which is not adequately controlled during the operation.
Another possibility is that of infection. However, given the progression of the situation, there should also be an accompanying pain, redness, inflammation and even fever if this were really an infection.
I recommend that you have this seen as soon as possible, by your doctor or an emergency facility, since hematomas can indeed progress. First aid measures would include application of warm compress over the area.
Regards.
