What Causes An Anal Abscess?
Question: I have a lump that is getting larger over the last few days. It is very close to the anus. I don't know if this is related, but I strained my groin area pretty severely in a kayak mishap last Friday. My right leg was thrown out in a very bad position. Causing redness in my inner thigh and a strain to the groin area that is bruised looking now. And also having pain in the lower right abdomen area. I am Male Caucasian 54.
Brief Answer:
Possible perianal abscess
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
This is possible abscess and you should see proctologist for further evaluation since it should be surgically treated in some cases.
Let me know if there's any further queries.
Wish you good health.
Regards
