Most of the pain that was caused by your abscess will probably go away right after surgery. But you may have some mild pain in your anal area from the incision for several days after the surgery. Most people can go back to work or their normal routine 1 or 2 days after surgery. It will probably take about 2 to 3 weeks for your abscess to completely heal. Most people get better without any problems.
Perianal Abscess, Incision and Drainage
Perianal Abscess - StatPearls - NCBI Bookshelf
Glands near the anus can become blocked. This can lead to infection. If the infection cannot drain, a collection of pus called an abscess may form. Symptoms of an abscess include pain, itching, swelling, and fever. Treatment of this infection has required an incision to drain the pus from the abscess.
