How to avoid recurrence of perianal abscess

The key to avoiding recurrence of perianal abscess is to keep the affected area clean, improve living habits, promptly treat the primary disease and take preventive medical intervention as appropriate. In addition, it is also necessary to pay attention to daily diet and avoid unhealthy lifestyles such as sitting for long periods of time.

The recurrence of perianal abscess is usually related to repeated local infection, incomplete drainage, weak immune system or the influence of chronic digestive system diseases. If the patient does not develop good living habits during the recovery period, such as poor anal hygiene and unreasonable eating habits, it is easy to induce infection again. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, tuberculosis and Crohn's disease may also lead to low immunity and increase the risk of recurrence. Incomplete treatment is also the main reason for the recurrence of perianal abscess. For example, residual infection is not completely eliminated or fibrotic fistula is not surgically repaired. These factors will lead to repeated symptoms.

To reduce the risk of recurrence of perianal abscess, patients should keep the perianal area clean and take warm water sitz baths every day, especially during the postoperative recovery phase, which can promote local blood circulation and reduce inflammatory response. The diet should be light as much as possible, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Increase the intake of dietary fiber, such as eating more whole-wheat foods, vegetables and fruits, to help maintain smooth bowel movements and prevent constipation. Sitting for a long time is not conducive to local blood circulation. Appropriate activities or choosing a cushioned sitting posture can help reduce local pressure. If the perianal abscess has been treated surgically, regular follow-up is recommended to avoid missing the sinus tract. Local hot compresses or antibacterial drugs can be used under the doctor's advice.

Once a relapse occurs, you should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible to prevent the spread of the disease and improve the recovery effect. Whether through preventive care or medical intervention, patients and doctors need to work closely together to avoid repeated attacks of both physical and psychological damage. During the prevention and treatment process, please maintain patience and confidence, and regularly adjust your lifestyle to consolidate your health.
