Had fissure surgery 5 days ago and noticing yellow discharge on the gauze pad is mucous discharge normal after this type of procedure? Just a bit worried since it's my first time dealing with this

A small amount of mucous or serous discharge (yellowish, watery fluid) on the gauze pad after anal fissure surgery is generally normal as part of the healing process. This type of drainage is often present for a few days to a week as the wound heals. However, it's important to monitor for signs of infection, such as increased pain, redness, swelling, or pus. If you are concerned about the discharge or have any other concerns, it's best to contact your doctor or surgeon for advice
