Draining hematoma after breast biopsy

Three weeks ago, I had bilateral breast biopsy's done.  My right breast also had a lump removed and I had a skin punch on my right nipple. However, it was my left breast that had the problems.  An internal scab had fallen off a capillary and I started to bleed inside of my left breast.  My breast swelled to the size of a football and my incision between my nipple and skin had separated.  A second surgery was needed and the Dr. removed 300cc's of blood.  Now, twelve days after my surgery, I'm folding laundry and I feel my bra is wet.  I look down and I have brownish liquid draining very slowly from my steri- strips, again where my nipple meets my skin.  I never came home with a drain.  I am VERY worried I will need a third surgery. I contacted my Dr. and she told me it was just a draining hematoma.  How long should I expect this and when should I consider calling her back.  Anyone had this happen to them?  If so, please respond.  Is it likely that I will bleed internally again?  Help!!!!

Just because it's now draining doesn't mean that you are bleeding again. If you were the drainage would be actual blood rather than what you describe. This could also be a seroma rather than a true hematoma. I would keep some type of dressing on the area and watch the drainage for a few days; if it doesn't clear up then see the Dr. again. I would think either a drain could be placed not requiring an actual surgery or drainage with a needle might also be done.  Regards ...
