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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this persistent lower abdominal pain, and a doctor back home suggested that it might be a hernia. I'm a bit confused about who we should see for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Should we be consulting a gastroenterologist, or is it better to visit a general surgeon for this kind of issue? Any guidance would be really helpful.
