So I've had a fistula above my b hole for a LONG time now it bleeds a lil after a bm but other than that not to bothersome well over the last few days I've notice a small hard ball like knot coming up beside the fistula it's not very painful just a lil uncomfortable. What is it?!?!?! Small abscess maybe I've had one years ago that was 6x's as big as this one if this is what this is what do u guys think?
Same old fistula with a new friend?

I never dealt with perianal fistula so I guess it can be different from enterocutanneous fistulae but the one I was getting would always show up as a hard circular and painful surface prior to opening. Let say it would make a hard round about the size of a dollar and would then break into a fistula in the next days. Mine would be opening next to the others.
I just hope it dosent get any bigger it's not painful right now only when I wipe but the first one I had was massive!!! And I actually cut it myself then eventually went to the dr to get it fixed cause it wasn't healing right cause of my Crohn's of course

Yeah, it's rather unfortunate to get these things. They rarely really go away. I would probably try to have it checked when you get a chance by your GI.
I go for a check up on the 10th he noticed it my last visit and it's gotten bigger I'm just hoping no surgeries I cat afford to be off work hopefully just some antibiotics like i said it's not painful really at all so maybe he will just go the antibiotics route for now. The last abscess I had was awful the only way it would heal was with remicade
