    Hello to my teacher. I had perianal abscess surgery 3 times before. It recurred for the 4th time. I went to another doctor. He gave antibiotics. We will continue for about 15 days. He said it's going well now. Then, according to the situation, MR will be taken for fistula. Previous abscesses were immediately drained with surgery and antibiotics were given. In this way, will the treatment process with antibiotics without surgery be a problem?
