Cyst In Bottom Recurring After Removal, Bumps Burst, Bleed And Drain. Is It Fistula? Any Difference?

I have had cyst in my bottom before that they had to remove. They fill like big bumps or risens, but they burst and bleed & drain. This has been going on for about 3 months again. They told me when they took the others out that they do comeback, but he also thought it was a fistula so. Can you tell me if there is a difference in the symptoms?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Where are the cysts occurring? If they are occurring in the perinal region, it is perianal abscess which can recur again and again if not treated appropriately. Please get in touch with a surgeon who can help you deal with this. Keep those areas clean and dry.
Fistula is a small channel between skin and anus. This keeps draining pus and blood and is associated with pain while passing stools. This can be surgically treated.
Thanks.
