I've been struggling with an abscess since November,which happened after the birth of my son. Recovering from having a baby was hard enough but then dealing with a painful abscess on my behind made it a lot worse. I had a drain placed in the abscess in December then it fell out in April nd they discovered I had a fistula and I had surgery to get a seton placed. I've had so much anxiety about how long I'll have this seton in.I feel so unattractive. My boyfriend is very understanding but it kills me that I can't give him all that he wants sexually because of my seton. I just feel insecure about this. Wearing a dress or leggings,anything I feel like people can see my gauze or it might fall out. There's just a lot of things that bother me about this seton. Has anyone had these types of experiences and feelings? I so,how do you cope ?
