Anal Fistula and Insertion of seaton
Posted: 03-28-08 03:29am

Hi,
I had anal fistula. Then i went for surgery and the surgeon inserted a seaton on the track. Now the wound is healing but i am getting discharge from my wound. The discharge is brown in colour. It smells like pus and blood. Different smell from pus. Nurses are saying that it is body fluid and not pus. Can anyone clear me on this issue.

My questions are
1. Is it normal to have discharge after drainage?
2. Is it normal get body fluid as discharge in large amount?

Thanks in advance

Do you know if you had deeper and complex anal fistula?
Have you been told that you'll need to undergo further procedures?
Was the seaton only used to help drainage during procedure or it is left for weeks or months in your body?
