I have a painful swelling in my perianal area could it be an abscess
hello well I do not know the particulars of your case it sounds as if you may have what is called a bartholins cyst this represents inflammation of the glandular structure in the perianal area in women it is generally benign but can be very painful and uncomfortable try sitting in a warm tub with warm water several times a day or applying warm compresses to the area such as a warm cloth for about 15 minutes and as it may bring down the inflammation if that does not work then you should probably see a local doctor who has other methods of bringing down the inflammation including the use of antibiotics
