It hasnt healed correctly and she still bleeds from her rectom. Now the dr wants to go in and clean out the area and stitch it up. He has tried to fuse it but it didnt work. With her being pregnant, is this safe for the baby? She can only have novacaine and tylenol with codeine..Before this she had heavy pain killers. Im afraid that the amount of pain she will be in will do something to the baby.

They can numb the area of the fistula to keep the pain level down which has much less side effects. However stitching up a fistula can cause infection, it is better to clean a wound/old surgery site out and let it heal openly, it is more painful and takes longer but most of the time heals much better (more natural way of healing).
