I am 10 weeks post OP for anal fistula. The wounds and canal are not completely healed.
I still get some fluid and sometimes blood from the wound and anal region.

At the start of June my proctologist told me that recovery looks good and canal should be healed by end of June. In the end of June appointment we he inserted some tool to check how much has the canal healed and said the deeper parts are not healed fully. He looked bit worried but told me not to take too much stress and wait. It might be healed with time. From the inside of anal region it is still closed and flap is intact.

Mine was complex fistula. Operated 4 times.
First time for abscess
Seconded time to remove fistula track, it failed
Third time to put on thread/saton
And now forth one to remove saton and track.

I am looking for some hope and similar experiences. Should I be worried or clam down and wait.
I am really tired with all these operations and uneasiness. Things don’t get better when you have a baby at home.

My son will undergo his first MRI after shunt surgery.
He had developed hydrocephalus after birth.
Currently he is 8 months old (7 months corrected).
He is doing good, learning new things.

Neurosurgeon told us that this MRI will give us more information about how the shunt is functioning. More importantly it will reveal the picture about his brain structure and may be damage caused by hydrocephalus. And that is what getting is worried.

We would like the guidance on what to expect, which topics to discuss regarding development etc and what are the possibilities to find something unexpected here?
