This is my first post so hello everyone!
I am due to have fistulotomy in two weeks time that I've been waiting for for a loooong time after my abscess failed to heal. I had lots of problems with dressings and packing when I had my abscess drained and that made me really upset at times. So I wanted to get myself prepared before the second surgery.
The most major problem that I predict I will have is that the dressing will get wet every single time I go for a wee (which is what happened when I had the abscess). I am a girl and I just can't imagine how can it not get wet when the dressing is so close to urethra. How did you girls deal with that?
I am a medical student on a placement in hospital, and that obviously makes everything more difficult if I need to change dressings in hospital toilets when they get wet....so if you have any idea how can I stop this from happening then please please tell me or I will die of anxiety on the way lol
Thank you!
