I'm 10 days out from surgery and awoke this morning to the primary incision leaking. I called the doctor and she said to take a warm shower and press gently on the incision to relieve pressure and fluids (sorry to be so graphic). This helped but the incision continues to leak. I've gone through several gauze pads. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this fairly common? I'm scheduled to have my staples removed on Monday.

I had a drain for two days following my surgery. When the drain was removed I was told that drainage from that incision was not cause for alarm as long as it was not puss...
