Bleeding... Need advices

[sadgyneguy]

I am currently 2weeks post-op (gland removal only, no lipo)... But 3 days from now, it started to bleed ... And today, I saw that the bleeding becomes more severe on my right chest. I am starting to get worried now.... My doc tells me that this is normal... I am really starting to get worried now...

Hey Dude,

Real sorry to hear about your problem,

If I were you I'd get to a doctor or hospital PRONTO!!!!

Bleeding is NOT good!!!!

Hope you get things corrected quick

Yeah, I agree with rickster. Bleeding is never good. It definitely slows down the healing process. Depending on the severity of the collection of fluids, a doctor might opt to drain it out with a syringe.

Why dont you post a picture of your chest here, and ask for comments from the doctors?

Quick note: Make sure you are sleeping on your back at all times. Whenever you lie down it should be on your back only. This helps a lot in discouraging bleeding and swelling.

Also, I hope you are wearing a tight compression vest. You can apply a gauze padding under the vest on the areas that are prone to internal bleeding to increase the pressure on those sites.
