Lymph leakage should stop in few moths.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If the fluid which is getting from the wound is lymph, nothing should be done. You need to be patient as this should slowly decrease and stop in few months. And not much can be done. If it wont stop, another surgery might be necessary to identify and obstruct secreting area.
It the fluid is a pus, swab tests should be done to identify bacteria and proper antibiotic prescribed. In both conditions, your wound should be regularly checked by a surgeon to avoid fluid collection inside the wound.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
