Hello doctor. 10 days ago, I had appendicitis surgery because I had an appendix abscess, so I had a drainage tube after appendectomy. After 4 days of surgery, I had the drainage tube removed. On the 5th day, she was discharged from the hospital, so far her incision has healed, but the place where the drainage tube was placed after the appendectomy is still wet with medical gauze even though she changes the dressing every day. I want to ask the doctor if the drainage tube is still bleeding after 5 days of appendicitis surgery, is it okay? How do I make the drains heal faster? I thank you very much, Doctor.

Hello,
The drain is still draining after 5 days of appendicitis surgery:
If it's just a little leak, you don't have to worry, just change the dressing one more time In time it will heal again. If there is a lot of discharge, or pus discharge, you should see a doctor so that the doctor can fully assess the situation and then have the appropriate treatment. If you still have questions about the diagnosis and treatment, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for an examination. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health. Best regards!
