Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a hemorrhoid removed a week ago. Tonight, I felt a lot of moisture there. When I felt the area, I noticed that the suture has opened up as big as my finger. I ve been feeling weak today and am not sure if I should see my doctor. Can you please advise me on what to do?
Hi,welcome to healthcare magic forum. Your description is suggestive of postoperative wound infection.It need immediate consultation with your doctor,to decide whether you need wound debridment and antibiotics.Sometime,it can happen without infection also,and need just supportive treatment only.But it can decided only after seeing the wound.Meanwhile,you keep the area clean and dry.Hot saline bath is good.Take soft,fiber rich diet. Hope you will find this information useful.Thank you.
