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-month-old daughter was diagnosed with anterior displaced anus or vulvar anus. One pediatric surgeon recommended waiting until she's 1 year old for surgery, but another doctor said it should be done now at 3 months. I'm really confused when is the best time to get the surgery done for her condition?

I had a deep wound about 4 inches long and 3 inches deep after my pilonidal sinus removal. It's been 20 days and the wound is still open my doctor suggested flap surgery but I'm hesitant to go under the knife again. If the wound heals on its own over time, could there be any long-term issues compared to getting stitches or surgery? I'm worried about complications later in life if it heals naturally

Elements that delay healing include infections and suspected causes such as poor hygiene and wound care choices, physical activity causing increased friction and shearing forces, and obesity.
