LAST NIGHT WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING AROUND MIDNIGHT SHE SET UP AND HAD BLOOD ALL OVER HER SHIRT WHERE THE WOUND IS..BUT IT WAS LIKE PUSS LIKE BLOOD AND CLEAR FLUID, IT KEPT BLEEDING FOR ABOUT 1 HR THEN SHE LAID DOWN AND IT FINALLY STOPPED...MY QUESTION IF SOMEONE HAS HAD STOMACH SURGERY BEFORE IS THIS NORMAL, HER DOCTOR DID NOT TELL US ANY THING..HES NOT OUR FAVORITE, WE TRIED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM LAST NIGHT AND HE DOSNT HAVE ANY WAY TO...BUT ANY ADVICE IS APPRECIATED, PS..TODAY IT HAS NOT BLED, HOPEFULLY THIS IS NORMALL...THANK YOU FOR READING THIS..GOD BLESS YOU, AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!Question just about after stomach sergery!!?
yes this is normal.
some precautions to be taken:
1. save the wound as dry as possible.
2. periodic/regular checkup of wound by doctor and frequent dressing up of the wound.
3. rest, no strenous work. complete rest.
4. Your doctor must have given anti-biotics; lug them regularly without go wrong.
5. ask him whether there is any requirement for an anti-biotic cream for topical application.
but if the wound doesnt show signs of healing and continues to bleed+pus even after lots days from now consequently you must definitely walk and visit ur doc.
Maybe she should progress to the emergency room because if there is pus it may be infected or something. Better undamaging than sorry
