5 years ago, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. They removed 90% of my Large intestine and I had to have an Iliestomy bag. 7 months after the innitial sergury, I had a J-pouch take down sergury and had the bag removed. But then I started to get peri-anal abcesses, so they diverted me to the bag again.. Now, 3 years later with a Iliestomy bag, I think I might be getting another peri-anal abcess even though I dont have any bowel movements down there.. Is that even possible? And if so, does that mean that Im leaking inside and they have to cut me back open to fix the problem, or will they just have to drain the abcess??
