I have a perianal abscess and can't afford surgery right now. Is there any medication or home treatment that can help manage it? What are my options if I can only do medical treatment for now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A small perianal abscess may resolve with antibiotics, but surgery is usually needed to prevent recurrence. Sitz baths and painkillers help symptomatically.

View allMy 72-year-old dad is having hernia surgery on his left side since that's the more problematic side right now. The doctor plans to only operate on the left for now will the other side likely need surgery soon after, or can it be managed without another operation?
If your dad’s hernia surgery is successful on the left side, the right side may not necessarily require surgery soon. It will depend on how the left side heals and if the right side worsens over time.
