I've been dealing with a tough perianal abscess situation and had surgery twice for it already. I'm really worried it might come back. Are there any precautions I can take to stop it from recurring? My job involves sitting for nearly 10 hours daily, and although I loved eating non-veg food, I cut it out after my last surgery. I'm a 32-year-old guy. Any advice on what I should do or avoid?
