Suggest Treatment For Fluid Retention In The Incision Area Post Hysterecyomy

I had a hysterecyomy 7 weeks ago to remove a baseball size mass, so ovaries & tubes where also removed uterus had been removed about 13 years ago.. then I had bleeding internally and a 2nd surgery to drain & left a drain for 15 days. I still have some fluid above the incision & at times tender to the touch? Dr. recommended moist heat to help with fluid retention? I also wore a abdominal binder constantly until 5 weeks out..then wore only at night, have not worn in the last 4 nights. I had no swelling in stomach before surgery....did not even know I had anything wrong...found thru normal check up! See my Dr in a few days for post surgery check up. Any thing else I can do.
Had no clue I had to pay....thanks but no thanks!

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that this could be common post operative event and this would come around as soon as the internal wound healed some time it could take more than enough time to come around and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
