What Causes A Lump And Bloody Discharge From C-section Scar?
Hi, I am 37 yrs old 5'9 , 145lbs, anyway just had my first c section 10 days ago, I have a hard lumpy section over my scar and was wondering what it is and will it improve? My scar is still leaking some blood still and my doc told me that it needs to drain the blood out, I'm Confused about what's going on.
Hi, It appears that you have a collection of old blood just below the skin(subcutaneous haematoma). It occurs due to leaking of blood from small blood vessels in the subcutaneous tissue. As your doctor has rightly said it should be drained. If not drained infection can occur in it. Once drained the scar will heal in a week's time. So don't worry
