In December 2015, I had a hemorrhoidectomy. I went for a 6 week post-op examination and was told that there were no "red flags" and was healing normally. I made an appointment for 8 weeks later and was told by the CRS that I could cancel it if I felt fine. I decided to keep it as I had developed skin tags and still had a yellow discharge.
During the exam, the CRS made the comment that he had found something "interesting". After getting dressed, he gave me the unfortunate news that I had developed a superficial fistula that would require surgery. He stated that he wouldn't know how complicated the surgery was until I was under knife. Fortunately, the surgery went fine and it ended up being superficial as he originally stated. I also had two skin tags removed as they were causing me discomfort.
It is now two week post-op and I am still seeing and feeling a yellow discharge. Should I be anxious this soon or is this normal at two weeks? I am seeing the CRS in 6 weeks for my post-op appointment but didn't know if I should send him an email to see if the the discharge is a sign that the healing is not going well or I have developed another fistual. Any input would be appreciated for those that have gone through this.
