A profusely secreting wound

“A profusely secreting wound” refers to a wound that produces an excessive amount of fluid or discharge. This excessive secretion can include clear fluid, blood, pus, or a combination thereof, indicating that the body is responding to an injury, infection, or other underlying issues. Such wounds are often at a higher risk of infection and may show other signs such as swelling, redness, and an unpleasant odor. Managing a profusely secreting wound typically requires medical attention to address the root cause and to prevent further complications.
