Port Issues

[Chris410 5]

Ok. I posted awhile back about having pinkness/redness around my port. It's not the incision, it's where the actual port is. I went to my surgeon and he said that it doesn't look concerning and for me to keep an eye on it. It's getting any better or worse. It actually fluctuates. Its not painful or itchy. I am supposed to have my first fill in 1 1/2 weeks and if it's not gone, I have to reschedule. Anyone else ever heard of such a thing? I am not having any other issues.

You could have an infection around your port site. I know it sounds strange but it can show up weeks and even months post op. I had to have port revision after my "first fill", they couldn't access my port. However, it wasn't due to infection, my port had flipped. However, a friend of mine had port issues that sound very similar to yours and her doctor put her on antibiotics and it healed without issue. That COULD be your issue. You could also have a leak around your port area. There are other things it could be as well. Only your doctor can know for sure. I'd call your doctor's office and voice your concerns, again, prior to your appointment. I hope it gets better soon...
