I hope this doesn't set you back too far.  I'm so sorry you are having these issues.  Even under the best of circumstances it is not easy.  Hang tough girl and get better as soon as you can.

Speaking for from my own experience and from those that have shared with me,  its not unusual or unheard of to have some complications, its more a matter of how serious the complication are? often its just minor things (that are more troublesome than anything) to the more serious like internal problems! its certainly not you being unlucky or something! (those that havent and any issues at all, well good for you!)  I had a friend that just recently had her surgery in Thailand and after her surgery she found that she had an incision between her colon and the vagina which was leaking fecal matter vaginally causing her a massive infection which she had to take antibiotics and a "cocktail of all sorts of medicine" (as she said) then have corrective surgery (this is one i've heard of before and it that happens here and there) maybe not so much with techniques like Dr.Brassard's which is the penile inversion but more like that of Dr.Chettawut for example. Myself, I had to return for corrective surgery 6 months or so after which was more so for an adjustment not so much bc of an healing complication but think of it, theres a lot of tissue thats stitched together in an area thats prone to infection. Im sure you know that Im not bringing this up to worry you further hun (you know that everyone including myself have been following your posts concerned for your well being while healing while wishing you a speedy recovery) but to just say that its not unheard of and actually is not uncommon to have a few problems and Im sure with the antibiotics that it will clear up (even if it needs to be drained again) and you'll keep moving forward but the important thing is that you went to see  a doctor and not wait for it to get worse! Take care and healing blessings[emoji177]Julie (big sis) :)

Don't know if it's the same for this kind of infection, but when I had a tooth infection it took 2-3 days for the antibiotics to start working.

Yes antibiotics can take two or three days to help you feel better. However, if things start to get worse than they were before you may need to go back in regardless. Hugs

I thought I was on top of my aftercare... I did try to did everything they said on the booklet... still sucks that this happened... never ending setbacks... but on the other hand... the "granulation" I was worried about earlier in the week is gone... the entrance of the V is starting to heal... it is just the infection I have to take care of!
