I had fistula surgery about a year ago but there's still pus coming out from the area when I walk why hasn't it healed completely yet

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

It's understandable to be concerned about ongoing pus discharge after a fistula surgery, even a year later. Several factors can contribute to incomplete healing, and it's important to address them with your doctor. A significant amount of pus after a year suggests a persistent infection or incomplete resolution of the fistula

12 years ago I had surgery for a pilonidal sinus, but now the problem has come back. I'm really worried is there a permanent solution for this? The recurring pain is bothering me a lot, and I don't want to keep dealing with it. What options do I have?

Recurrent pilonidal sinus often needs surgery for permanent resolution. Laser excision or cleft lift surgery offers better long-term results than traditional excision methods.

I'm really concerned about my recovery after having perianal abscess surgery on November 30th. It's been 8 days now, and I'm still seeing pus discharge; plus, there's a bit of pain after I have a bowel movement. I've been using Livoluk as a stool softener and doing sitz baths three times a day to help. Do you have any idea how much longer I might need to continue the wound dressing and how long it'll take for everything to fully heal up? I'm in the IT field and eager to know when I might be able to return to work. Any advice would be great.

I'm 20 and have fibroadenoma with multiple small lumps in both breasts but one is bigger and needs open surgery I'm worried about scars since I'm not married yet are there any treatments that won't leave marks on my breasts

For the fibroadenoma requiring surgery, the main concern is scarring. While complete avoidance of scarring is impossible, minimally invasive techniques and careful surgical practices can minimize the visible marks. For the smaller, multiple fibroadenomas, cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy might be suitable options.
