Discharge from fissure

I had a fistuletomy surgery in Nov 2023. The wound has almost healed, and discharge from the wound had almost stopped. But 5 days back, i had a hard bowel movement, due to which i had bleeding of 5-6 drops of blood. Since then, there has been very little discharge seen in the anus. The discharge is just 1 or 2 drops. I visited a surgeon and got it examined who said the bleeding has caused a fissure and the discharge is from the fissure. Is that correct? Does fissure on wound cause discharge? I could not find this information on the internet, so i am a little concerned. Also, 15 days back, i got a fistulogram, and the report said i do not have any abscess and no fistula track is seen.

Does he really need medication

My husband (43 y old) has Pitiutary Aden'oma surgery 20 years ago (2004) , and after that, he has been taking the following medicines Rx- Prednisolone 5 Eltroxin 25 but over the past 5-6 years, he has been very irregular in taking these medications for the last couple of months. I think he almost stopped taking them. We do all the blood work every 7-8 months, and his reports are normal all the time. Only an eye doctor once prescribed an MRI (a year ago), and it was all good. So, I am curious if he really needs these meds. Every time we ask the doctor, he says meds are critical for him, but on the ground, it does not seem like that? And there are side effects like increased cholesterol because of the meds in the past?
