Hi doctor,
I have undergone fistulectomy and right now in bed rest. I am taking sitz bath, three times a day with Betadine solution and then Betadine cream. Also, I am on antibiotics. I am a working in IT sector and my work requires a sitting time of 8 hours approximately. So, when can I go back to work? I am a basketball player. When can I start playing again? How long does it take to fully heal? What all food should I avoid? What other precautions should I take when I get back to work? Please give me full details about this. Thank you.

Thank you doctor,
I have scheduled to return to work after approximately three weeks of surgery. I hope that is fine. One month after surgery means the uppermost layer of the buttock will completely heal. As of now 8 days into surgery, I still can see a hole in the operated area and there is yellow sticky mucous sort of substance in the area after my sitz bath. What is that? Is it normal to have such a thing? I am able to pass stool easily as the doctor has given me a liquid stool softener. Regarding food, can I have non-vegetarian food?

Hi doctor,
How long does it normally take for the uppermost layer of the skin to come over? Now, I am 10 days into surgery and still feeling a little itchy or uncomfortably on the side of the operated site of my buttock. If you wish, I can send a latest picture of the operated site and show you the present condition.

Thank you doctor,
Is it two weeks from now or two weeks from the surgery day? I feel my healing is too slow. But, I do not know the reason for such a feel. I will send the pictures.
