I had a hemorrhoid removed a week ago. Tonight, I felt a lot of moisture there. When I felt the area, I noticed that the suture has opened up as big as my finger. I ve been feeling weak today and am not sure if I should see my doctor. Can you please advise me on what to do?
Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Your description is suggestive of postoperative wound infection. It needs immediate consultation with your doctor, to decide whether you need to wound debridement and antibiotics. Sometime, it can happen without infection also, and need just supportive treatment only. But it can decide only after seeing the wound. Meanwhile, you keep the area clean and Chat Doctor. Hot saline bath is good. Take soft, fiber rich diet. Hope you will find this information useful. Thank you.
