Hi Aga,
If everything has been recently checked out thoroughly and you are not in too much pain with no other symptoms, please try not to worry. Chances are what you are going through is totally normal - Even after surgery, a fistula can continue to pus for some time after. This is very common and completely normal.....It can actually happen for a few months after depending on the original fistula. It's great that the fistula was low and these tend to heal a little quicker too. If in any doubt, always get a second opinion, but it sounds OK. Everyone heals at different rates, so just be kind to yourself and as positive and as relaxed as you can be....it will happen!....Generally, it takes about 6-8 weeks for the wound to completely heal back to normal. :)
