what yellow fluid are in the body
Serous drainage is clear and may be slightly yellow or colorless in appearance. It is thin and watery and may make a bandage wet without leaving a stain of color. Serous exudate, or discharge, is normal from a wound in the early stages of healing, typically in the first 48-72 hours after the incision is made. While serous fluid is normal in small amounts, large amounts of this clear fluid leaving the incision line should be reported to the surgeon.
