Greetings you all. I just had breast surgery about a week ago. Surgeons removed several cancerogene lumps in my breast but now there are fluids coming out my wound. I searched online and found out it was seroma. Doctors have advised to remove it once a week via syringe. I also read that gabbage leaf helps. How do i use these leaves?
Best regards
Ana

Hi Ana, sorry I cant offer you any advice on this but if I was you I would contact your BCN for advice xx
I wouldn’t use cabbage leaves.If Seroma is drained will be a sterile procedure…may drain on its own.Be advisable to see a BCN,or your practice nurse.I had his following surgery,did my own dressings.take care,and it will resolve.
