Hi, I'm Andrew from Nigeria, I'm 24 weeks pregnant, had I&D for ischorectal abscess on the 11th of March 2026,a month after the procedure and daily dressing, the wound healed but I kept seeing pus.A C senior surgeon observed the place and said its fistula. I was asked to be doing conservative care and drink lots of water - that further examination would be done after delivery. On 23rd of April, I observed the site has opened and keeps leaking. I've not been able to resume work because I feel pain and irritation from sitting for an hour stretch.
