I had a fistulotomy today with a spinal block. When I could feel my legs again and get dressed I noticed quite a bit of blood on the absorption pad below me. I was discharged but noticed the pain wasn’t where I thought it would be. I showered tonight like I was instructed and it didn’t hurt so I asked my partner to look. There is no external cut or wound. There was an old external opening but it’s apparently sealed and wasn’t touched. How do I keep inside clean and will it hurt more or less?
