Brief Answer:
Cephelexin can decrease the symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting Healthcaremagic!
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
This looks like perianal abscess or a fistula.
Cephelexin can control the infection you will have symptomatic relief. Pain will be reduced.
But surgery is the defenitive treatment modality and surgery is required for permanent cure.
Wishing you good health
Thanks

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for follow up.
We can go for conservative measures first.
A short course of antibiotics cephelexin or other.
Apply local ointments like metrogyl. P
Stool softener like cremaffin.
Do sitz bath.
If symptoms persist we have to drain the pus by minor procedure. Actually it is a minor procedure and can be done in short time under local anaesthesia. No need to worry it won’t affect your hysterectomy.
