What Causes Fluid Discharge From A Bruise On The Calf?

89 year old female, stent inserted in main artery Wednesday, much bruising from blood thinner problems at hospital, back home Saturday. Just noticed decent amount of fluid (clear I think) on bed sheet in area of a bruise on the right calf. Any concerns? Thank you!

Hello,

I think that the fluid can be pus from infected wound. Get physically evaluated by general practitioner. Antibiotics may be needed as well as clearing the wound.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
