I had open fistula surgery two days ago but there's still pus and blood draining from the area nonstop is this normal or could there be a problem
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about persistent drainage after fistula surgery. While some drainage, including pus and blood, is normal in the days following surgery, continuous, heavy, and nonstop drainage could indicate a potential problem, says a doctor. It's best to consult your surgeon for evaluation and guidance

View allI've had a lump on my chest for a few months now, and it's pressing on my esophagus because sometimes I have trouble swallowing food. It feels like it's right under the skin, maybe on the middle chest bone at the bottom. It's about an inch in diameter, soft, moving, and not painful. Im wondering if it could be a Lipoma since I have other similar lumps on my arms and thighs that haven't caused problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor in person yet because of Covid. Do you think this is likely a benign, noncancerous tumor? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.
need CT scan and proceed

I had a right side inguinal hernia mesh repair surgery 3 years ago and now I've developed a new hernia on the left side. I'm considering another mesh repair but I'm worried about hernia recurrence after mesh surgery. Does having mesh repair increase the chances of the hernia coming back compared to other types of repairs? What's the likelihood of recurrence with a second mesh surgery?
Second hernia mesh repair is commonly done and recurrence is not necessarily higher with mesh.The success rate is high when done properly.
