My cat scan shows a huge amount of fluid build up in the pelvic area that should be drained. CC has written in medical journals that it is common for people with UC and FAP to get it and you just drain it. Wondering if it is easy to do if anyone has had this. I hope it solved my mystery issues. The rest of my CT scan was complicated to make out so other doctors are looking at it all to make sense of it.

I had fluid buildup after my 1st surgery. It actually ended up popping on its own, although it was really painful and drained for like 2 weeks. They discovered it through ultrasound.
I have fluid build-up right now and its just coming out through my staples on my wound site. The home healthcare nurse said its not a concerning color and its normal after surgery. It was very painful when it popped but she said it should go away on its own.

seems like that might be something your surgeon should check out. Any fluid buildup like that could be infectious. I had fluid buildups and abscesses draining and more abscesses bursting after my last surgery. It was so serious they got an infectious disease doctor involved. Just sayin.. might be something your surgeon should take a look at.
