Suggest Treatment For Anorectal Abscess

Clinical evaluation, examination and investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history so well put-in by you.Yes, it is possible that the ano-rectal abscess can drain out of anus. This is more of sinus as it does not connect another skin/mucus membrane. (Fistula connects both).
The suggested treatment plan:
First of all you have to consult a General Surgeon for clinical evaluation and examination by per-rectal examination and proctoscopy, preferably a colonoscopy as a part of a protocol.
Sinogram will decide the extent,depth.
Most of such abscesses do need a proper surgical treatment depending upon the size, site, extent and duration.
A prior course of an antibiotic, metronidazole may help for small such lesions.
But it is ultimately the decision taken by your surgeon that decides the course of action.
I hope this answer helps you in early diagnosis and treatment.
Please fell free to ask for further relevant queries if you need to or if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
