Fistuletomy wound healing duration
I had a low fistuletomy surgery 2 months back. My wound is still not completely healed. Attached is the image taken by the doctor 12 days ago. The pain is managable, there is no discharge, and my doctor has confirmed that there is no infection, but i still feel discomfort. Can you please tell me the complete healing duration for low fistuletomy? Sometimes (once in 10-12 days), i get bleeding after a bowel movement, especially when my stools are bulky. Does bleeding delay wound healing?
