Thank you. I was just concerened about my leg begining to retain fluid. Dr. will not drain it. Afraid of bacteria getting in it.
A seroma is a pocket of clear serous fluid that sometimes develops in the body after surgery. When small blood vessels are ruptured, blood plasma can seep out; inflammation caused by dying injured cells also contributes to the fluid.
Please believe that it will regress or else your clinician will take the right course of action as it makes the initial recovery period difficult, but some need repeated visits to their doctor to have the seroma fluid drained.
Please take care and believe that it is only time when you will be ok, and you know it is a Seroma and not dangerous!
