A member asked:
Would ulcerative colitis cause peri-anal abscess?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maybe: Anyone can get a peri-anal abscess. It can be more common in patients with crohn's disease. A person with or without ulcerative colitis can get peri-anal abscess. A person may also be at higher risk for infection if one is on steroids that can reduce one's immune system.

It can: Many patients with peri-anal and peri-rectal abscess recover fine and never have a recurrence. Some patients develop recurrent abscess, and eventually are also found to have crohns or ulcerative colitis. Hopefully your abscess will be once and over. Both uc and crohns are difficult to diagnose.
