External fistula wound
I had my fistula laser surgery 10 weeks ago. External wound not healing small amount of blood is discharging yet. And blood comes from wound when I sit for pooping.
So why blood comes when I poop
In every fistula procedure, chance of recurrence is there, because it's tendency of every fistula. No procedure is 100% recurrence free.
You should keep your wound clean and follow your surgeon orders.
You can do sitz bath and apply some local antimicrobial cream.
Next Steps
You should wait for about 2 to 3 month and then go for MRI PELVIS if symptoms will persist.
