I'm really concerned about my recovery after having perianal abscess surgery on November 30th. It's been 8 days now, and I'm still seeing pus discharge; plus, there's a bit of pain after I have a bowel movement. I've been using Livoluk as a stool softener and doing sitz baths three times a day to help. Do you have any idea how much longer I might need to continue the wound dressing and how long it'll take for everything to fully heal up? I'm in the IT field and eager to know when I might be able to return to work. Any advice would be great.

I've had an anal abscess for 5 days and my doctor put me on antibiotics. Now they're saying I might need surgery but I really don't want to go through that. Is there another way to treat this without surgery? The pain is unbearable - can't even sit or walk properly and I feel nauseous all the time. What else can I do?
