Return to FISTULA - Are you having surgery for a Fistula or already had it?
sood wrote:hey all,
i had a surgery on saturday, 29th sept 2012. There is still pus in the area and keeps oozing out. Clear the area gently with cotton. I do sitz bath thrice a day and after each BM.
The biggest thing i am afraid of is BM, the first day bm were quite ok, didnt hurt that much. second day onwards they were quite sticky and very little quantity, sticked to the wound and pained a lot. I developed a fear of bm and resulted in a bit of constipation. I dont how others did it, i am now trying to defecate in the hot water tub itself, trust me its quite comfortable than otherwise. just clean up the things and take a sitz bath in clean water again afterwards and a bath.
Lying on bed for last 4-5 days, my legs and back is aching very much these days. walking is not comfortable at all, cant stand properly and dont stand much at all except for walking to the bathroom. any one any ideas how much its going to take before i can walk and sit properly without pain?
The painkillers and antobiotics and lactulose as advised by the doctor is going to end tomorow. Any ideas should i continue them or not? Visiting the doctor just to ask this is going to be painful. I have been advised to see the doctor after 2 weeks!!
I hope it all get well soon down there!

I believe it is quite normal to have some discharge, but if the discharge has an odor, then you should at least phone your doctor. Here is a little information that might help. I have not had this surgery, but do think your doctor is the best person to talk to if you are worrying:

Best of luck in your healing. Make sure you are drinking enough water, etc.
