I'm dealing with an infection around my anus, and I think it might be a perianal abscess. It's really painful, and there's a continuous discharge of pus. I can't even sit properly because of it. Could you please suggest what I should do?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I was recently diagnosed with an intersphincteric fistula tract and have surgery scheduled for next Friday. I'm a bit nervous and wondering what type of anesthesia is usually given during a fistulectomy procedure

Spinal anaesthesia will be given during surgery. You will feel a small pin-prick in your back. The surgery will take 20-30 minutes only. Don't worry!
