I was surprised that it literally looked like a scratch at that point. I have 2 setons and yet to know what a seton actually looks like! I'm supposed to have one seton out this Thursday.. so maybe I'll finally grab a mirror and look.
If installing bidet isn't possible, I would recommend getting a hand held shower head - mine has been a savior! When I travel I bring sterile saline in squirt bottles.. If you don't have a hand held shower these are great for cleaning, especially after a BM. The saline comes out with lots of pressure so will displace anything "bad" that may be in the wound. I traveled about 8 weeks after my first surgery and I started to feel discomfort. I actually visited a nurse and had her irrigate the wound using a syringe and saline solution - if you can't find a squirt bottle, a regular syringe works quite well.

Hi Diamond. I got no choice but to look at my butt daily to clean and pack it up. I just need a mirror plus some LED lamps to monitor the healing process. I've heard about what you have been through and feels for you. Alot of friends and people outside will never know what we have been suffering and how dreadful this fistula thing is. And not to worry, the surgery that you have gone through a couple of days ago will very well close this episode for you. One thing to keep in mind, do not be afraid to look at the wounds as you need to ensure that everything is being healed and clean up properly.

Diamond - A hand held shower has my biggest blessing to date! I couldn't live without one anymore :) 

Hi ETO,
Nice to see you again, have not been corresponding with you for quite sometime and hope that everything is going well with you. Image 
It has been a month since my surgery and I have been keeping everything clean. I think my wounds ain't so deep so the recovery was pretty snappy. Image

Dear Buddy. Glad that everything is fine with you when you went for the seton tightening. Just hang on for a couple of sessions and the seton will cut through the fistula and healing it in the the process. :D :D :D :D
