Hello, About 1 to 2 years ago, I had a pilondal sinus, and my doctor performed an open wound surgery, after which the wound had healed by a couple of months. 3-4 months ago, I wiped the area with tissue paper to dry it and noticed that the tissue paper had a very faint yellow-red color and smelled bad. I went back to my doctor to check if there has been a recurrence, and he told me that I was fine and nothing was wrong after he checked. Today, I wiped that area again with tissue paper by coincidence and the same thing happened. I tried to wipe it again with another tissue paper and rubbed a little bit harder and noticed that small blood drops were on the tissue paper. Please tell me, is this normal? Does the wound at that area remain soft permanently? Are these small discharges normal? (I feel no pain at that area).
Hello, This is definitely a recurrence of COLONIAL SINUS SURGERY. It is very common for COLONIAL sinus to re-occur. In fact long term recurrence rate has been found to be in 22% cases. In some cases recurrence has occurred even 20 years after the surgery. You must consult a surgeon who is specialist in COLONIAL surgery. Thanks
