hi.

noted surgical history 2 years back and current note of blood and pus coming out of the operative site. was the wound site healed unremarkably after the surgery? do you have any recent trauma or manipulation over the operative site? it may be a surgical site infection. it is best if you do a follow-up consult with your doctor, preferably a general surgeon or your gynecologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, blood count, gram staining and culture and sensitivity testing, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. if it is indeed an infection, proper antibiotic regimen will be prescribed. surgical drainage will be advised if deemed necessary. daily wound care and maintenance of good hygiene is also recommended.

hope this helps.

good day!!
