Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I had the same problem. The blood really freaked me out because my doctor said there should be no more blood after the first week. Two months post op and I had a bright red discharge. There is something called....granulage tissue...spellcheck the word... anyway..its where the skin is trying to heal but isnt doing so well and it is building up.. or at least that is my understanding of it. That was where my blood was coming from. So you need to get in to the doctor. I had the tissue build up in both ears and required anti bacterials, anti inflammatories, and anti fungal creams being rubbed all over the innner parts of my ear. Good Luck.. hope your ears get better.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Call your Doc, drainage is normal after a CWD or CWU however it should be more clear than having a color.... tom hansen --- cnnblckbrn <cnnblckbrn@...> wrote: > In cholesteatoma , Culp > <jfculp@...> wrote: > > > > Not normal after 6 weeks...best call your doctor. > > > > <justinagain@...> wrote: Here is > my situation: > > > > I'm 6 weeks post-op tympano-mastoidectomy and my > ear is continuing to > > drain.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hi All, My c-toma has recurred 5 years after CWU surgery in 2003. One symptom I have which I'd not heard of before is drainage, not via the ear canal, but via the eustachian tube. I wake every morning having spent the night drooling brown yukky stuff and with a foul taste in my mouth. I don't smoke and only drink occasionally, so this isn't morning-after mouth! Does anybody else with c-toma suffer with this? Thanks, Garry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Probably had an abcess. Happened to me but it was my belly button incision. Keep an eye on it. It should feel better in a day or so.

I got scared, called Gaby at Dr Aceves office she said it is normal, but I still think it is weird. Has this happened to anyone else here?
