What Does Red Scar And Fluid Discharge After Hysterectomy Indicate?
Hi, I have had a c-section 10 years ago and 6 years ago they opened me up on the same incision to reconstruct my ovary from cysts and 2 1/2 years ago I had a full hysterectomy. From time to time the scar turns red and seeps fluid. Should I be concerned?
