Hi!
I am not sure where they put the drainage tube, as it is not a common practice any longer to use those! Was it placed in the vaginal cuff? Or was it brought out through the abdominal skin?
I do not commonly use a drainage tube when I do hysterectomies.
I would certainly not leave one in place if I did. Is it sutured in? Are the waiting for the sutures to dissolve?
If I were you, I would seek another opinion and have the tube removed! It may mean re-opening your incision, but I would be concerned that it might cause infection if it remains in place.
Good luck!

The drain is placed vaginally. I also, have breast implants, is there a higher risk of infection?
