Hi, I am 65 year old lady and I had my thyroid removed 2 years ago. one of the stitches didnt close and after few weeks, white discharge came out and since every few days that white discharge squeezes out. I had x rays done and it said there was a sac of fluid there, nothing dangerous. It was removed by the surgeron ( a year after the surgery) then few months after the same thing started to happen again. Few times little knots of stiches came out and tiny pieces metal-like as well. Can you please help me with that. Thank you
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor.  It might be hospital acquired or may be other type. Mostly this type of picture after such a long time is seen in infection like gram positive staphylococcal, atypical mycobacteria, fungus or may be some other gram negative organism. So now you must go for culture examination of infected site by a reliable microbiology laboratory and by a qualified microbiologist. Once the causative organism is found it can be treated according to its sensitivity pattern. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating according to your satisfactory level. Thanking you.
