I've been dealing with this persistent issue on my left hip. There was a wound with pus, and the abscess drained by itself at first, but then it came back. It's been going on for about three months now. Initially, a general medicine doctor treated it by cutting it open and removing the pus. It healed over 30 days, but the pus has started to form again. I'm really worried and not sure what to do next. Could you help me understand why this keeps happening and what my next steps should be?

Consider consulting a specialist, such as general surgeon, for further evaluation and treatment, as the recurring abscess may indicate an underlying issue, such as a fistula, infected cyst, or underlying bone infection, which may require antibiotics, surgical drainage, or other interventions

View allMy doctor recommended either open surgery or laparoscopy for my condition and I'm not sure which one to choose. Can you explain the pros and cons of each? Also how many stitches should I expect after the procedure?
Open surgery often involves a single, larger cut while laparoscopic surgery uses several smaller ones. This typically results in less pain and a shorter hospital stay for those undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Furthermore, open surgery may leave a larger scar compared to the minor scarring from laparoscopic surgery.

I've been dealing with a fistula in ano for the last four months and my doctor recommended surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? I'm 30 and really worried about the procedure are there other options that could work for me?
Some low-grade fistulas heal with Ksharasutra (Ayurvedic) or antibiotics—but surgery is usually curative and best long-term.
