Father's post-surgery wound leaking fluid, antibiotics not working. What now?

It’s understandable to be concerned about your father's wound. A leaking site may indicate an infection or improper healing. While antibiotics are helpful, persistent issues warrant further evaluation. I recommend contacting his surgeon promptly for an assessment. They may need to examine the area, possibly clean it, or adjust his treatment. Additionally, ensure the wound remains clean and dry, and encourage your father to avoid any activities that could strain the area.

Why is my left side pain persisting with normal ultrasound results?

It’s completely understandable to feel concerned about persistent pain. Several factors could contribute to discomfort on the left side, including muscle strain, digestive issues, or sometimes even referred pain from other areas. While your ultrasound didn’t reveal anything significant, it’s crucial to continue monitoring your symptoms. I recommend keeping a daily log of any additional signs you experience. It might be beneficial to consult a surgeon for further evaluation, especially if the pain persists or worsens.

Is mild alcohol safe 7 weeks post inguinal hernia surgery?

After surgery for an inguinal hernia, it's generally safe to consume mild alcohol seven weeks post-operation, provided you feel well and have no complications. Alcohol can affect healing if consumed excessively, leading to dehydration or gastrointestinal issues, which may hinder recovery. If you experience any unusual symptoms like increased pain, swelling, or nausea after drinking, it's wise to stop and consult your healthcare provider. Always listen to your body and prioritize your wellness.

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.
