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?
