Should i be concerned about the scar tissue with puss/semen discharge after vasectomy?
Patient: It s been 4 days after my vasectomy and I noticed in the shower that it was firm around the left set of stitches. Almost like scar tissue. I squeezed it like a pimple and puss or semen came out. Is it semen or puss? I ve been reading a bit on possibilities but still concerned. Should I be concerned? Doctor: HelloThanks for query .You have undergone vasectomy 4 days back and has noticed white discharge fro the wound .During vasectomy Vas difference (a tube) that carries sperms is ligated at both the ends it is unlikely to be semen ..It is mostly a puss .However Get it confirmed by microscopic examination and culture of a whitish material that you have noticed .This will help to allay your anxiety and help in taking a appropriate antibiotic to combat infection.Do not worry taking antibiotic and anti inflammatory drug will resolve the issue .Dr.Patil.
