What Causes Pink Fluid Collection In Gauze After Umbilical Hernia Surgery?
Hello, My wife just had umbilical hernia surgery a few hours ago and once we got home we noticed that the gauze under the clear plastic bandaging is getting rather full with a pinkish fluid. Unfortunately we live in a 3rd floor apartment and wanted to know if that is something to be concerned over to the point that we should take her to the emergency room immediately or not

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such pink color could be oozing of blood, in my opinion you need to call the surgeon or see the surgeon for this, if this is the bleeding then it need to be stop and may need dressing again, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
