default
Posted on Fri, 12 Dec 2014
Question: I had breast reconstruction about 7 months and double mastectomy. I had the implants inserted about 6 weeks ago. During my mastectomy I was burned on my right breast pretty bad. So I have scar tissue in the right breast. The right breast has been really tight since being inserted. Now I have bleeding and pus. It should be healing like the left breast but it's not. The pain is really bad and I am taking too many aleve to relieve the pain but it doesn't help any more. Can you please tell me why.

recurrent infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
The pus and bleeding in your right breast is due to recurrent infection.
The pus should be sent for culture sensitivity test and sensitive antibiotics should be started.
I will also advise you to do ultrasonography of right breast.
