Drain after surgery
Hi..has anyone had lymph nodes removed, as well as breast excision?? Breast care nurse spoke of drain, and gave me a shoulder bag to be more discrete, and allow easier activities, bathroom visits, etc...
Hi there
i think it can vary a lot. My surgeon wanted them to stay until all fluid stopped draining and that varies a lot from person to person (days or weeks). Best to just stick with it until all clear. Best wishes.
