I've been dealing with a perianal abscess, and my ultrasound confirmed it. The doctors are saying I should have surgery, and I'm really anxious about any potential long-term effects it could have. Is surgery the only option here, or are there any alternatives I could consider? I'd really appreciate some guidance on this.

I had an appendectomy about a month ago and recently, for the past five days or so, I've been experiencing some pain in my right abdomen. It initially began after activities like running, but now it feels more localized on the right side. Is this something normal that happens after surgery, or do you think I should go back to the surgeon to get it checked out?
It is not uncommon to experience some pain and discomfort in the right abdomen after an appendectomy, especially during physical activities. However, if the pain has persisted for 5 days and is now localized to the right side of the abdomen, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation. They may recommend pain relief medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for relief.
