Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. She may have leakage from shunt tube or some benign cystic lesion or some other mass. She should go for examination and if needed go for ultrasound study. It will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
