Stool passing after surgery

Location
...
2 weeks ago I had a seton surgery where 3 setons were placed and abscesses were drained.

Now 2 weeks later, after I go to the bathroom stool keeps coming out of one if the fistula or abscess. Is this normal? My colo rectal looked at it 2 days ago and said everything looks good, but I developed this new issue last night.
 
Hi sorry you are going through this bloody fistula I have therm as well but don't have stool coming out instead I have blood coming after BM . Can I ask how is your stools? And are you following any diet . Simo
 
Hi, how are you getting on? Are you still having issues with leaking through the fistula? Sorry, I've never had setons so can't advise, but if it's a new issue, I think I would try to speak to the surgeon or GI about it.

Started humira yesterday and fistulas are leaking stool since the day of surgery. Sometimes its a huge clump that comes out. Told all this to my doctor, but apparently its normal. Hoping humira clears it up soon, not sure how long before any improvement.
