[|Human|] Hi I had been dignosed with peri anal abscess last year June and was suffering from regular pus formation and discharge from the same area. The length as per sinogram was 7 cm. By Oct the discharges stopped but I was feeling a lump. Slowly it also reduced in frequency and I took another sinogram yesterday and the length was 2.5 cm and without any pus formation observed. My doctor is still insisting on a surgical procedure. Is it advisable or I let it heal on its own.
[|AI|]  Hi! My short answer is YES! Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, and thanks for your queries! In fact, as per your description, your problem of a perianal abscess is complicated by the formation of a sinus tract; this means a blind tunnel through your normal tissue spaces where there are recurrent infections as the other end is open to the environment; the intensity depends upon local hygiene and your immunity power both of which are highly variable... Therefore, it all needs to be obliterated so that no space of infection is left meaning surgical excision is the final cure for this! Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.
