A member asked:
I had anal fistula surgery on thursday and have some clear mucusy fluid draining, is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drainage: Moderate serous drainage is common following surgery. Nevertheless, you should have received clear printed instructions following surgery as to reporting symptoms and how to address pain and so on. Given location of the surgery, I strongly suggest you inform your surgical team about your symptoms.
