**Specialist Doctor’s Opinion:**
Dear Patient,
It is concerning that you are still experiencing discharge and the passage of stool particles 3 months after your fistulotomy surgery. While the wound may appear healed superficially, persistent symptoms like these could indicate incomplete healing, a recurrent fistula, or a minor tract that needs further evaluation.
Next Steps:
1. Consult Your Surgeon: A physical examination is essential to assess the wound properly. Your surgeon may recommend a digital examination, proctoscopy, or imaging (like an MRI fistulogram) to rule out recurrence or complications.
2. Hygiene & Care: Maintain strict perianal hygiene. Use a sitz bath 2-3 times daily to promote healing and reduce contamination.
3. Avoid Self-Diagnosis: Symptoms like these require professional assessment. Delaying evaluation may worsen the issue.
My Recommendation:
Please schedule a consultation with me for a detailed evaluation. I specialize in such post-surgical follow-ups and can guide you further. You can reach me on WhatsApp at **Eight Zero Zero Nine Eight Two One Three Three Two** for appointment scheduling or urgent queries.
Do not ignore these symptoms—early intervention is key to preventing complications.

Anal fistula's recurrence rate is pretty high after the surgery.Ideally you should get back to your surgeon or for a second opinion to check if the fistula track is closed or not.
