It's been 3 months since my fistula surgery but the wound still hasn't healed completely - is this normal or could there be an underlying issue causing the delay in healing?
It's not uncommon for fistula wounds to take a few months to heal completely, and a delay in healing can be due to various factors. While a 3-month healing period isn't inherently abnormal, it's important to address any concerns you have with your healthcare provider. They can assess the wound, identify potential underlying issues, and recommend appropriate management.
