I had fistulomy for a ano fistula at 3 o clock position 4 months back. The wound is completely healed by a month after surgery. I was comfortable after the surgery. I dint constipate after that, except for once or twice a mild constipation.Now abt a week. I have discomfort in the area where i had the wound opening earlier. Sometimes a picking sensation or dull ache.im worried if its the sign of reoccurance.Hello doctor,
I dont have any visible boil in the surface. I dont have any pain when i touch in tht spot
Local Exam and MRI to confirm the diagnosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
I have read your past and present history and understood your concerns.
My thoughts:
Since the would is healed 3 months ago, recurrence is rare.
The causes of the discomfort are:
- The scar is on the pressure point hence there can be tenderness that can develop in the scar.
- The can be a fissure in ano due to hard stools you had.
- Recurrence is a possibility.
The ways to make sure what the diagnosis are:
- Per-rectal digital examination and proctoscopy by a General Surgeon.
- High resolution ultrasound or still better MRI study of the area gives definite diagnosis.
I hope this answers your query.
Getting the correct diagnosis is most important.
Please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
Till then take laxatives, have Sitz bath and care about diet and take any medicines as advised by your Surgeon.
