Hello, I had my surgery on the 20th May and my dressing was changed yesterday. A lot of the steristrips needed replacing due to being a bit moist but there wasn’t any sign of infection. This morning there’s some leakage on the dressing and I wondered if this was normal? It was really sore yesterday after being manhandled to get the dressing in place. Thank you, I’m so worried about everything lately.

  • Hi GemP

    it’s not unusual to have a bit of leakage particularly after what happened yesterday. Just keep an eye on it and if it gets any worse contact your medical team.
