PERIRECTAL ABCESS & FISTULA
An anal abscess is an infected, puss-filled pocket located near the rectum and anus. These abscesses are usually caused by bacteria, fecal matter, or foreign matter that has clogged the anal glad. People with anal abscesses can develop fistulas as well. Fistulas are tunnels that lead from the infected gland to the infected area or abscess. However, at times, a fistula will lead directly out of the body; creating an opening near the anus on the buttock. People suffering from anal abscesses or fistulas often have the following symptoms:
- Pain
- Redness and swelling
- Fatigue
- General malaise with fever and chills
