If you’re noticing pus discharge from the wound even after 10 days, it’s not considered normal. You should definitely consult your operating surgeon. The wound needs to be examined properly to check for any unopened or newly formed pockets of infection that might need further treatment.

It's normal to have serous discharge. The wound will heal in time. But you should keep a check for any fecal discharge from worlund site or foul smelling discharge. It's better to get it examined when you visit your surgeon
