Hi Everyone, this is my first post. I had a lumpectomy 2 weeks ago for DCIS. Didn't have drains put in at the time, but had to go to clinic today to have a seroma drained. Everyone I have spoken to has had theirs drained with a syringe. I had a thick needle put into mine with guidance of ultrasound, but then drained into a bowl while the doctor massaged it which was quite uncomfortable. Does anyone have any idea whay it was done this way rather than just syringed out which would have been far less sore I'm sure. I am meant to go back on Friday to be drained again, just wondered why it was done this way. Any ideas? Thanks x
