Is it normal to still have drainage (fibrin?) from anal fistulotomy even im in 1 month and 3 weeks recovery? but i have no infection just wound.

Takes a while: It takes a while for things to heal after this procedure. Have you followed up with the surgeon? Even if you have, make another appointment to see her and get checked out. Then make sure all of your questions are answered before you leave.
