Can Seton Thread Remove Fistula in 4 Weeks?
Seton thread in fistula remove in 4 weeks

General Physician
Answered on 2nd Mar '25
The Seton thread helps manage fistulas by maintaining drainage and reducing inflammation. After four weeks, you may notice changes such as less discomfort or drainage. However, everyone heals differently, and it’s essential to monitor for any unusual symptoms, like increased pain or swelling. If you have concerns or changes in your situation, please reach out to your gastroenterologist. They can offer personalized advice and determine the best next steps for your care.

After a hysterectomy, especially initially, be gentle with your movements. Before sitting, ensure you have adequate support, such as handrails or a nearby sink or counter to assist you. Keep your movements slow and controlled.

In my grandfather Foley catheter was inserted but in night the catheter was pulled out with balloon inflated little bleeding is occur but there is no pain what should I do
Male | 80
It looks like your grandpa’s Foley catheter might have a problem. The balloon could be causing the bleeding because it’s coming out. There’s no pain, so that’s good. We’ll watch the bleeding for now. Keep the area clean and dry. If the bleeding doesn’t stop or you have other worries, call your health care provider right away for advice.

I am 62 years old male and I have a surgical wound that hasn't been heal and there is a yellow liquid coming from it. I have been using some medications for the wound but it still not healing. I don't have any fever or anything else to feel. It's just my surgical wound that still don't heal.
Male | 62
A wound not healing and yellow liquid oozing out could mean infection. Bacteria entering cut can cause this. It's a good idea to see a doctor soon. They'll likely prescribe antibiotics to kill germs. You'll also get tips to properly care for wound. Don't ignore it, get it checked promptly.

I am an NIT Graduate worked in MNC and lost job bcoz of this headache and unable to concentrate. Whenever I masturbate the head ache is much more. So I reduced masturbation a lot as well.

If a cut was applied at the time of delivery, stitches were not applied due to the patient's condition becoming worse, so is it possible that the wound can be healed by applying stitches again after five years?
Male | 36
It is possible to stitch a cut, even if it happened many years ago. When a cut isn’t stitched at the start, the wound may continue to bleed, could leave a scar, and may take a longer time to heal. If the injury is still causing issues like pain, redness, or discharge even after 5 years, it might need proper treatment to heal completely. It’s best to have a doctor examine the injury and advise on the most effective treatment.

I had my gallbladder operation in the year 2021 .Why I am having sharp needle like pain after drinking hot milk tea for 21 days .Near the incision area I have red swelling.
Female | 65
This could be a case of surgical site infection. Usually, this happens after surgery where there is an incision made thereby causing redness as well as swelling around where you were cut. It might help if you keep that place dry after cleaning it every once in a while but try not to touch too much or else there might be more pain. Make sure to visit your doctor so they can figure out what else needs to be done about this.

One of my friend got two cuts from blade but he showed only one cut to the doctor and didn't showed the other cut so doctor injected him a tetanus shot,is one tetanus shot enough for two cuts of blade?
Male | 19
Tetanus is a serious infection caused by bacteria that may enter the body through wounds. Perhaps your friend was cut twice by a blade but only got one tetanus shot. Therefore, there's a risk of tetanus developing in the other cut. One tetanus shot may not be sufficient for two cuts. Tetanus symptoms usually include muscle stiffness and trouble swallowing. As a precaution, your friend should visit a doctor again and get a second tetanus shot for the other cut.

Male | 37
Abdominal pain with masses on the intestine can happen for the reasons above like a tumor or a growth. In your case, the doctor removed several tumors, which made the operation more complicated. It is important to put your trust in your doctor in such cases to improve your health. It may take time for the recovery to happen, but if you adhere to their post-operative care instructions, you will have the best results.

DOG BITEN WHEN I WAS 15 YEARS OLD
Male | 40
It's understandable to have concerns about past incidents involving animal encounters. If you experienced a bite, be aware of potential symptoms such as swelling, redness, or pain in the affected area. Infections could occur, so monitoring for signs like increased warmth or pus is advisable. Causes may include unexpected fright or the dog feeling threatened. It's essential to keep the wound clean and to consider a physician for an assessment and possible preventive measures like vaccinations.

Hi, I was diagnosed with Grade-1 Chondrosarcoma at my right Iliac Crest. A wide excision surgery was done with all margins free. After 6 months I have a lump with pain and redness at my right chest wall and a lump like structure in my armpit. I took augmentin 1g and the pain and redness on the chest went away but the lump is still there on the chest and armpit. Can you advice me what can be the scenario. I had my chest xray and pelvic x ray done a month ago and everything was fine. Can it be normal infection or something else.

I've been having this recurring pain, swelling and eventual discharge in my tailbone area over the past 5 months now. It comes and goes from time to time but whenever the swelling comes, I apply Vaseline to the area and that helps to drain the swelling. I've come to learn that this might be a pilonodial sinus and I'm very concerned about the potential treatment because I've heard that's painful too. At my stage what is the most likely treatment?
Male | 22
It sounds like you may indeed be experiencing a pilonidal sinus, which can cause discomfort, swelling, and discharge in the tailbone area. This condition often arises from hair follicles becoming infected, leading to the formation of a cyst. Treatment options vary; initial management may involve proper hygiene and draining the area, but surgical intervention might be needed if symptoms persist. While surgery may sound daunting, it often resolves the issue effectively. I encourage you to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough examination and personalized treatment plan.

I fell like lump on my left side belly i am worried about this
Male | 22
Finding a new lump in your abdomen could be a fright but it is also logical. It may not necessarily be a lump in here but mostly the following: a pulled muscle, a lipoma (a fatty lump), or the very worst case a hernia. Most of these lumps are not dangerous but it is concerned if there are changes or other symptoms along with it, such as pain or swelling. It is always better to talk to your health provider so that you are not misdiagnosed, and the problem does not get any knockout worse. Feel free to get in touch with a doctor as they are the ones who can really help you by giving your specific advice and reassuring you about your health.

Female | 22
HIV is a virus that can be transmitted by blood. Acknowledging the low probability of contagion in your case, because the wound is almost healed. In case you get some symptoms like fever or body aches, then don't be scared it doesn't mean that you have AIDS.

Female | 26
If you are under 30 years old and your vaccines are up-to-date, you are at a lower risk for tetanus. Tetanus is caused by bacteria found in soil, dirt, or manure. People sometimes experience muscle stiffness, which can make swallowing difficult. Remember to check your immunization records.
