I am at a loss...I will start from the beginning. I was diagnosed 4 years ago with an anorectal abscess. It had to be lanced, drained and packed everyday for 2 months. It healed properly. Just recently, in march 2010 I had another occurrence. This time it was not caught in time. I became septic and it ended up bursting. I had to have surgery, a tube inserted for 4 days to allow for any additional draining. The tube was removed and the part that burst healed with in a month. But, ever since then I have had something going on where the abscess burst. I feel the initial pain as if it is the abscess coming back, with in 2-3 days, the sight must open for I have discharge
coming out of it. It normally is pus. This month however, it happened when I was due for my menstruation cycle. I had the beginning stages of a menstrual cycle out of this sight. Then it was bright red blood. I am a little worried, well very worried. Could this be a fistula
