A member asked:
I have a peri anal fuistula, with a boil like outlet. can i use a sterile needle and open the outlet and squeeze out the puss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Using a needle in that area can cause major damage and will not resolve the problem. It is likely that surgery is needed.
