11 days agoHello everyone! I had lumpectomy and removal of axilary lymph nodes this past Friday. I have a drainage and my questions is what is the average number of days to get the drain removed? Thank you so much for your support!

10 days agoDrain removal timing varies for each person, but typically ranges from one to three weeks depending on drainage output levels. Many community members have shared that their healthcare teams monitor the daily drainage amount and remove drains when output drops to a specific threshold, usually around 30ml or less per day. Wishing you a smooth recovery, and feel free to share how your healing journey progresses with this supportive community who understands what you're going through.
