Drainage from my Port Incision

[jeeptrk03 0]

My biggest incision is where my port is. I have a little spot on the incision that is kind of draining. It is like a brownish blood color. It isn't red at all around the incision or swollen. It is still a little sore, but that seems normal. I have a band aid on it so that it doesn't get on my shirt. There isn't a whole lot coming out, Has anyone else had this problem? I will probably run it by my doctor today, I was just curious if anyone else experienced this.

I had the same problem. Go see your Doctor. I ended up having an infection and had to have my port moved to the other side.

I had some drainage from my port incision. It was kinda yellowish clear. I went to the dr and he said it was a seroma. He put me on keflex since my incision hadn't closed up all the way. He was worried about infection. He also had me put neosporin on it too. Within a week or so, it healed up and the leakage stopped.

It wouldn't hurt to have your doctor look at it. It sounds like a seroma.

Be sure to check with the doc - go in, don't just call. My port location was oozing (clear, not smelly or gross), but I ended up having a staph infection. It really delayed my recovery as I was very tired.

Get this checked ASAP.

I have already had one port revision due to infection, and it appears i have the same thing again. I have tried every antibiotic, and no progress or improvement, so the port has to come out again!

Make sure you get this looked at sooner rather then later!
