What To Do If The Hole In The Anus Has Opened Up And Oozing Even After The Fistula Plug Was Put In?
I had a lump on the top right orbit anus , well it went away and turned into a small hole , I went to the doctor and I had surgery and the drs put in a fistula plug , well everything went good and healed. Then I noticed the hole opened back up and I went back to the doctors and he's going to send me to a specialist , but tonight I noticed the hole has gotten bigger and hurts really bad and oozes , I fest I'm not gona be able to last until next month.
