A member asked:
What do you advise if i had an anal abscess days ago, would it be safe to go to the gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Anal abscess that spontaneously drained or was lanced in the physicians office so that there is no further collection of pus should not impede going to the gym. The seating that occurs after a work out can be minimized by using warm soaks to the abscess site after exercise or taking sitz baths until abscess healed.
