A member asked:
I have perianal fistula since last year, in last 7 month i was doing pretty good and it didn't hurt at all or get infected, but since last month it got infected 4 times and i took medicine, now it is back and i'am in a lot of pain, what causing that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
stool entrapment can lead to chronic infection along with other factors. With your description the best is to consult a rectal surgeon for a possible fistula removal (fistulectomy)
