f/24.
Hello my name is Ashley Neeley, i'm 24 and a virgin, well of my vagina at least. I have had anal sex with my boyfriend who's 48. We do it about three times a day average and my symptoms are usually just a sore, stretched out butthole. Yesterday i noticed that my butthole was seeping yellow puss & had a horrible smell. I went to Walmart and bought Depends, which are diapers for elderly. Is there anything else i can do?

There are two different kinds of abscess that can develop in this region of the body.
One is called a perirectal abscess, and develops in the deep tissues surrounding the anus, such as within the musculature of the buttocks and spaces around the anorectal canal.
The other known variety is a perianal abscess, which is a collection of pus that sits right underneath the skin of the anus and can easily be mistaken for an external hemorrhoid.
Both types need immediate attention from a doctor, as any delay may cause serious complications such as systemic infection.
While you are at home, the anal abscess may burst outwards on its own, at which point you should notice a significant release of pus either into bath water, toilet water, or your clothing.
Pus usually has a quite distinctive odor, and ranges in color from white, to yellow, and may even have a slightly greenish tinge.
If there is blood in the pus, it can take on a characteristic reddish or rust color as well.
Pus is composed of decomposing immune cells that died while attempting to fight off an infection, and is usually quite bacteria rich because of it, so if the abscess does burst outward, clean the area, change clothing, and wash your hands well and in hot water to prevent the spread of the infection.
As anal abscesses can be difficult to diagnose at the best of times, when you see your doctor it is important to answer all questions fully and to freely volunteer information.
The treatment for abscesses of any kind, including anal abscess, usually involves a surgical procedure to drain the abscess cavity, followed by a round of antibiotics to eliminate any lingering infection, and pain management medication to make you as comfortable as possible.
In addition to antibiotics and pain management, your doctor may also give you special dietary instructions to help recovery from an anal fissure, such as more fruit and vegetables and nil or greatly reduced fatty foods / sugary foods / eggs / meat / dairy.
Your doctor may prescribe stool softeners, and tell you to take frequent warm sitz-baths, to help the anal abscess to heal and provide some relief. And sex is most definitely off the table.
Natural anal abscess recovery helpers include Vitamin A and Zinc to help the immune system. Vitamin A and B complex to help offset the negative effects of the antibiotics. If fever a symptom, then consume more liquid, plus Vitamins A, C, E.
While an anal abscess is a serious concern, and can be quite frightening with the rapidity and severity of its symptoms, with proper treatment most people fully recover in a short period of time.
With good, responsible medical attention and the support and comfort of loved ones, an anal abscess should be an easily resolved problem that takes almost no time at all to recover from.
If the anal abscess does burst at home, it will probably relieve quite a bit of the pain and fever, as the pus is usually a haven for the bacteria causing the infection in the first place.
While the relief can be extreme, even if the abscess bursts on its own it is still important to see a doctor because the area can become reinfected or the abscess can reform on its own.

Anal sex is rough on it's own, let alone three times a day!
Anal sex typically causes tearing and bleeding, meaning it would be very easy for you to get an infection. I suggest going to your doctor ASAP, especially since you notice pus and odor. Lay off the sex, and see if you notice any improvements. I also suggest you and him get tested for any STD's, because you can become infected through anal sex.
