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

My 3-year-old son was diagnosed with mild hydrocele with no hernia. The pediatrician referred us to a surgeon, and we have an appointment today. I wanted to know if surgery is the only option or if there are medications available too. Also, is it safe to wait a year or two until he's older for the surgery?
Usually 3 years is too late for conservative management. So most likely a survey will be required . However no medication are available to treat this condition

I've been using homeopathy for my fistula for 7 months but haven't seen any improvement. Should I consider surgery now or does homeopathy actually work for this? Has anyone been successfully treated for fistula with homeopathy by their doctor?
A fistula that isn't healing can be due to several factors, including persistent infection, incomplete drainage of abscesses, underlying medical conditions, or complications of surgery. In some cases, the fistula may be complex and require advanced treatment like setons to help drain the area and promote healing
