Had fissure surgery 5 days ago and noticing yellow discharge on the gauze pad is mucous discharge normal after this type of procedure? Just a bit worried since it's my first time dealing with this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A small amount of mucous or serous discharge (yellowish, watery fluid) on the gauze pad after anal fissure surgery is generally normal as part of the healing process. This type of drainage is often present for a few days to a week as the wound heals. However, it's important to monitor for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus. If you are concerned about the discharge or have any other concerns, it's best to contact your doctor or surgeon for advice

View allI've been experiencing some discomfort recently, especially when I'm sitting for long periods. I noticed a pimple-like bump near my anus, and it hurts when I touch it. I'm worried this might be piles, but I'm not entirely sure. I've read online about self-care options, but I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me figure out if this is piles or something else, and suggest any creams or treatments? I've also attached a picture for reference.
It's generally safe to take cefadroxil and azithromycin together, as they work against different types of bacteria and have different mechanisms of action. However, it's essential to consult your doctor or surgeon before taking both medications, as they may interact or increase the risk of side effects. Inform your doctor about the azithromycin you've already taken and the remaining doses. They will assess the situation and provide guidance on whether to continue with the azithromycin and cefadroxil concurrently. Follow their instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective treatment. Monitor yourself for any adverse reactions or side effects while taking both medications.

my father has been dealing with a fissure and tried anovate cream along with antibiotics but still isn't feeling better is surgery the only option left for him
If a fissure persists beyond 6-8 weeks of conservative treatment (like Anovate cream and antibiotics), surgery may be considered. However, it's not always the only option, and a colorectal surgeon can assess the best course of action. Surgery, when necessary, often involves a lateral internal sphincterotomy (LIS), which involves cutting a small part of the anal sphincter muscle to release tension and promote healing
