Is it possible for a fistula to come back just 20 days after surgery? I noticed a small pimple-like bump near the surgical wound and I'm worried it might be recurring
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Unfortunately, despite proper treatment and complete healing, an abscess or a fistula can come back. If an abscess comes back, it suggests that perhaps there is a fistula that needs to be treated. If a fistula comes back, additional surgery will likely be required to treat the problem.

View alli think i might have piles because theres a lot of pain near my anus and a small red bulge what treatments are available without surgery and if surgery is needed how long will the recovery take
If you suspect you have piles (hemorrhoids), several non-surgical treatments can be used to manage pain and swelling. These include home remedies, over-the-counter medications, and office-based procedures like rubber band ligation or sclerotherapy. If non-surgical treatments are not effective or if you have severe symptoms, surgery may be necessary, with a typical recovery time of two to four weeks

I'm having this really painful issue with a boil, or what I think is a skin tag, near the entrance of my buttocks. Every time I go to the bathroom, it hurts quite a bit, and it's been going on for the past three days. I'm already taking some meds that my family doctor prescribed, but it doesn't seem to be getting better quickly. It's making it hard for me to sit or walk comfortably. The medicines Ive been on are Bactifix Ointment, Acemiz which is paracetamol with serratiopeptidase and aceclofenac, Onoff OZ which includes ofloxacin and ornidazole, and Rantac 150. Im a bit concerned and unsure if theres something else I should do, or if these meds take longer to work. Could it be something more serious, and should I be doing anything differently?
-It seems you have a painful boil, likely an abscess or infected pilonidal cyst. Keep the area clean, avoid pressure, and continue your prescribed medications. If there's no improvement in 2-3 days or if swelling worsens, consult your doctor for further e

I've been dealing with this really uncomfortable pain and burning sensation in my anus for the last couple of months. At first, there was some blood too, so I thought it might just be a small cut or something and I tried using Boroline on it. The bleeding stopped, which is good, but the pain and burning are still there, mostly when I'm using the toilet. Could you please give me some advice on how to make this go away?
It sounds like you might be dealing with an anal fissure, which is common and causes pain, burning, and sometimes bleeding. It's important to keep the area clean and avoid straining during bowel movements. You could also try using a stool softener, warm sitz baths, and apply a soothing ointment like Anusol or Hydrocortisone cream. If the pain persists, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
