I have had a terrible experience. A wrong site surgery error occured and the wrong gland was removed. In addition, it has been 5 1/2 weeks and I am still draining and have a lot of pain. The pain just isn't at the surgical site but in the entire preineal area. I have a new doctor and he believes that b/c the type of suture that was used takes 6 weeks to disolve that my body is reacting to the suture like it is a foreign object ie swelling and pain. The original doctor told me I could be back to work in 4-7 days and resume intercourse in 2 weeks. All this for the wrong gland.
