Could Recurring Perirectal Abscess Be Due To Fistula?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?
I have a perirectal abscess and it ruptured two days ago and now is filling up again, I have an appointment in 2 days with a colorectal surgeon. Does this mean I have a fistula, this is the third one in 2 months.

Hi thanks for asking question.
You have perirectal abscess which burst so ya chances of fistula is there.
For that rectal examination has to be done by proctoscopy.
And you mentioned that this is for the third time.So it is better to get examined proctoscopy.
I hope you have no further query regarding approach for your case.
thanks.
