Draining abscess/ potential fistula leaking blood

[Aarxl180]

I had my perianal abscess drained 2-3 weeks ago, my surgeon said a fistula could possibly from. From last Tuesday to Thursday its been bleeding when I have bowel movements, usually more in the morning and goes down throughout the day. It stopped on Thursday but this morning it began leaking and dripping blood after my first bowel movement. It stopped soon after and hasn't done it since, is that normal?? Sorta panicking and worried about tomorrow morning

If it starts again, I would call your doctor.

I had an abscess cut and drained in Sep 2015. It then developed into a fistula and I had surgery on that Jan 2016. It has been draining/bleeding since the first surgery. I use gauze or folded toilet paper to catch the draining and blood. I've had 2 Humira treatments and hopefully it will start healing.

It's normal to bleed and drain, of course if the amount is a lot and concerns you, you should check with your doctor.

I hope the Humira helps. I am on it also.

I believe I'm gonna have a surgery on it soon once I show my surgeon my mri and make an appointment for that
