Swelling near anus
Hi. I have a spot near my anus where an abcess had occurred 1.5 years ago. The abcess was treated only with antibiotics and no surgery and slowly I recovered (with timely bouts of fissure etc). Recently I've started feeling mild swelling like feeling in the same spot. It doesn't pain much but I can feel mild swelling on touching (no hardness) which feels like it moves if I move it around. I don't see any fistula opening and I have looked very carefully. Could it be an internal fistula or abcess again? I don't want to do sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy etc as my family doctor had said procedures should be avoided unless necessary. I'm taking homeopathic medicine.
