These : These types of cysts are challenging for doctors to completely remove. If the wall of the collection is not completely excised, recurrence is common. This is not a negative reflection on your doctor, the anatomy is just markedly altered by the process. On occasion, this could be a sign of a fistula. A fistula is an abnormal connection between two organs that are not supposed to be connected. In this case, there could be a tract (kind of a channel) between the perineum and the vagina, skin or rectum. This results in bacteria growing up the tract to create an abscess. If that is the case, the tract needs to either be obliterated or removed. Doctors likely to be more experienced in this arena can be found on www.Augs.Org. The other doctor you could try would be a colorectal surgeon to exclude a fistula.
