How long do incisions ooze?

Thank you so much for your kind and helpful reply!

I’m so sorry for all that you have gone through!

My incisions are only oozing just barely a drop a day, just enough to make gauze stick. It’s clear fluid from what I can tell and no odor at all. It’s extremely scant, and the only reason I know it’s oozing is simply because the gauze is stuck by the next day.

I think I’m healing well, and have been checked by both surgeons, but this very slight oozing seems to be lasting a long time.

Thank you again!

Hi back! Glad to hear that it is clear and no odor. Keep an eye on it for the next week or two. It is super important that it heals from the inside out. So this is just the last little bit somewhere inside you. Make sure you continue to drink lots of fluids and be healthy. If anything changes, get with docs. By 8 weeks get with them if it continues. Continued good luck with your journey & great that you found this forum!
