Hello
Hoping for some advice, please.
After waiting months to see a specialist I've finally had my fistula diagnosed and had gone on the waiting list for an operation. The surgeon said I could be waiting up to 6 months anyway but now with coronavirus and non urgent operations being cancelled imminently it would seem like I'm stuck with this horrible thing for the foreseeable.
What started as a tiny hole weeping pus now has turned into a squashy lump that still leaks all the time but is painful and I know it is there all the time.
How should I look after this to try and stop it getting worse? And is it possible to live with this longer term or could it end up going seriously wrong? And guidance much appreciated as I'm really worried about it.
