A member asked:
I had a hemorrhoidectomy surgery 5 days ago. i believe the stitches pulled out on the second day. i have a small separation in the wound. what to do?

Should heal: Will probably heal on its own. To be safe consider sitz bath or bathing wound area at least daily and after each bowel movement for next week or so, and dry area well when done. If pain increases or fever or discharge develops return to see surgeon ASAP.
