Stool stuck in wound cause infection?

2023-07-16 15:01:28
I had fistuletomy surgery last Monday. The wound is still fresh. When i defecate, some particles of the stool get stuck in the wound. (I click pictures to observe the wound) No matter how much i wash with running water or wipe, i am unable to clean it due to pain and position of the wound. I am nervous about this condition. Will this lead to infection? I do sitz bath with Betadine solution 3 times a day.
