I had a perianal abscess drained a month ago. Everything is comp;letely healed, and my bowel movements are back to normal. I still feel a bit tired, and the weight I lost while suffering from the abscess (about two weeks), hasn't completely returned. I'm still down about 3lbs. Of course, during the painful period, I had no appetite. Is this usual? I'm 62, 5'5" 140lbs, in good health except for slightly high blood pressure.
Hello, Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Rakesh Sharma answering your query. This very usual feeling drained after long illness and infection. Take high protein diet. Drink lot of water. Add multivitamin supplements. In about 2 weeks time you will be your normal self. Good luck.
