Explanation

"Without exudates" in medicine refers to the absence of a certain type of fluid. This fluid, called exudate, is often produced by the body in response to injury or inflammation, similar to how a cut might ooze a clear or yellowish liquid. If a medical report says "without exudates," it means that the doctors did not find this fluid in the area they were examining. This could suggest that there is no ongoing inflammation or injury in that area.
