Does excessive liver fire easily lead to perianal abscess?

Excessive liver fire will not directly cause perianal abscess, but it may indirectly increase the risk of its occurrence. It needs to be judged comprehensively based on daily habits, diet and physical health status.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, excessive liver fire often manifests as irritability, dry mouth, bitter mouth, red and swollen eyes, etc. This state may affect the digestive system, leading to constipation or difficulty in defecation. If this condition cannot be alleviated for a long time, the perianal skin may become infected due to friction, bacterial invasion, etc., and eventually form perianal abscesses. Perianal abscesses are essentially closely related to bacterial infections, and the external environment, inadequate personal hygiene, or low immunity are also major causes.

To relieve the excessive liver fire, you can try to adjust your work and rest schedule, avoid staying up late, and relax appropriately. In terms of diet, you should reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods, increase green leafy vegetables and foods rich in dietary fiber, such as spinach, corn, and oats, to help intestinal peristalsis. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially keep the anus clean to avoid bacterial growth. Once symptoms such as persistent swelling, redness, swelling, and pain occur, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment immediately to prevent the infection from worsening.
