I have been going through problems with abscesses lately. I've had 2 drained under sedation. The first one seemed healed but then created one more toward the vaginal area. When the surgeon checked it out that time, he left the vaginal area alone and opened up the original area again. He found a superficial fistula heading over to the abscess by the vagina so he installed a seton drain. I had the drain for about 4 weeks and everything was doing good and everything resolved I was taking at least two baths every day and using a sitz bath in between real baths, trying to keep it clean and soft so it could heal. It really seemed like it was. I had to leave for Florida for work all this week - leaving on Sat. Well, I started having frequency and urgency with blood in the stool. This is the first blood I've had since my colon was removed. My rearend is sore and I have bouts where I just cannot stay out of the bathroom. It is also painful to 'push'and try to go. I'm guessing that the abscess problem is obviously an issue but may also be causing cuffitis. Could this be it? Csn my WIscondin dr send a prescription to Florida for antibiotics? I took some Lomotil today and it helped but once it Wore off, I spent an hour on the toile two different times. As soon as I would try to get up, I'd have to sit right back down for another small amount to come out. I have also started having a very sore rearend abnd quite a bit of blood starting to tonight. What should I do? The urgency (I can barely make it when it hits) and the blood, make me thing this is cuffitis. Is it?

Any advice on what yo do would be great. I'm here for the week if you think of something.
On another note, there seems to be another abscess starting. This one is on the right side kind of by the Bartholin gland. It seems rather large when u touch it but I'm just not sure what to do. I won't be back home until end of the day on Friday.
