HI,
I understand your concern
The fissure wound after surgery nomaly takes a bit more time ( 10=14 days ) to heal because of it being soiled daily/often with incontinence of gasses/ stools.
A perfect care/ cleanliness & nursing is essential for healing along with regular medicines as per doctor's advise.
You have been operated 3 weeks before,with green discharge in it.-which indicates infection.
- For this you need to be particular in cleaning the wound after each visit to wash room/mop it gently dry & apply ointment( betadin/soframycn).
- visit your surgeon & ask for need of medicines in case there is no progress within 5 days of intensive care of wound.
- Take Vitamin B complex/ Vit. C helps healing.
Thanks.
