Pus Discharge after surgery
Hello,
i had a posterior fistula in ano after clinical examination and did laser surgery two days ago. Now, i am on medication like pain killers and antibiotic (O2).
Today, i noticed some pus discharge with slight blood on gauge cloth that i placed over there for dressing. I understand surgery has been done recently and coming of blood is ok but little bit worried about that pus discharge.
Is it fine to have and will it heal on its own after some days ? Please advice me.
Thank you.
