It is normal to experience wound itching after surgery for anal fistula if the itching is caused by wound healing, so there's no need to worry excessively. However, if the itching results from a wound infection, it may indicate an abnormal condition. In such cases, under a doctor's guidance, disinfection can be performed using medical iodine tincture, and treatment may also include the use of medical alcohol.
