18 Days Post I&D with Seton- got clearance for exercise but CRS plans to leave penrose drain together with seton for 2 more weeks.
Hi! As mentioned in the title, I'm 18D post seton placement and I just got clearance from my CRS to slowly reintroduce gym (upper body only) + brisk walking and run-walk to my daily life as an active person.
I'm just curious since yhe technique she used is to utilize a tandem of a Penrose drain + a draining seton for my case. Yesterday was my follow up and instead of removing the penrose drain, she manipulated and adjusted it in a position to influence drainage in the other side of the used-to be abscess because in the initial area, its already drying up. Although after yesterday's adjustment, drainage slightly got heavier compared to the development in my first two weeks before the adjustment. She plans to remove the penrose in the next two weeks. IS it alright to leave a penrose drain for a month? Isnt a foreign body bad?
Though I clean it every after BM and I still do 2-3 time sitz bath in a day.
But glad to finally reintroduce working out (albeit not too intense) back to my routine.
