Q. The growth near my anus pains when pressure is applied, and I feel relieved when it pops. What should I do?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

From the attached image (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity), it seems you have repeated perianal abscess. Usually, a fistula is responsible. This fistula is called fistula-in-ano or anal fistula and is of several types. Based on the type, the treatment varies.

It requires a physical examination; hence I suggest you consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them, and take the medicines with their consent. If required, undergo an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the region.

That should give us a roadmap for the treatment.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Fistula forms over time, and initially, it is just an abscess.

You can try sitz bath (soaking the rectal area in a tub of warm water) to relieve symptoms, but a physical examination is necessary.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
