Hi, looking for some advice.
TMI warning... My story started in Aug where I was dianogsed with an intersphinter abscess after noticing pus leaking from my back passage along with pain of course.. I had emergency surgery but it returned 2 weeks later. More emergency surgery only for it to return roughly two weeks later again. At this point I was diagnosed with a fistula and had a seton drain fitted.
That was almost 10 weeks ago and I’m just waiting on my appointment for a fistulotomy to hopefully put this nightmare to rest once and for all but for the past two weeks I’ve been experiencing pain in a different location down there. Nothing as severe as the abscesses but painful none the less, it’s like a deep knawing pain with the occasion stabbing pain.
Today, I was pretty sore so decided to have a look and for the first time since before having the seton placed, I noticed pus leaking from the back passage again. The seton does go through the back passage and through an incision in the perianal area. I have had leakage from the perianal area since it was fitted but not from the back until today.
Is this something I should be worried about or does it sound normal?
I hope I’ve made sense and sorry again for tmi!!
Thanks for reading
