Feeling of stool leakage after perianal abscess surgery

The feeling of stool leakage after perianal abscess surgery may be due to incomplete healing of the surgical wound or damage to the anal sphincter function. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time, identify the cause and take appropriate treatment measures.

1. The surgical wound has not healed completely

After perianal abscess surgery, the local wound needs a certain amount of time to recover. If infection or poor healing occurs during the healing process, it may cause temporary dysfunction of the anal sphincter and cause stool leakage. At this time, it is necessary to keep the local area clean and avoid infection. At the same time, follow the doctor's advice to use drugs that promote healing, such as Kangfuxin liquid or compound Huangbo liquid wet compress. Avoid spicy food and eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as eggs, milk, green leafy vegetables, etc., which will help the wound recover.

2. Impaired anal sphincter function

The anal sphincter may be damaged during the operation, which may weaken its contraction function and make it impossible to effectively control defecation. This situation requires evaluation by a professional doctor and, if necessary, anal function exercises, such as levator ani exercises, 50 times each morning and evening for more than 3 months. If the damage is severe, further surgical treatment may be required, such as sphincter repair or artificial anal sphincter implantation.

3. Improper postoperative care

Improper postoperative care may also lead to fecal leakage. It is recommended to keep the anus clean after surgery and take a warm water bath 2-3 times a day for 15 minutes each time, which helps to reduce local inflammation and promote healing. Avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time, and do appropriate activities to promote blood circulation. If the symptoms of fecal leakage persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention in time, undergo anoscopy or anal canal pressure measurement, and treat the symptoms after clarifying the cause.

It is common to feel stool leakage after perianal abscess surgery, but it needs to be taken seriously. Through timely medical treatment, scientific care and appropriate treatment, most patients can restore normal bowel function. After surgery, patients should pay close attention to changes in their symptoms and follow the doctor's advice for rehabilitation training to avoid worsening of the condition.
