How to improve the problem of perianal subcutaneous abscess

Improving perianal subcutaneous abscesses requires a combination of timely professional treatment and appropriate daily care. After an abscess is formed, drainage surgery is usually required to remove the pus, and antibiotic treatment is also required to control the infection. In severe cases, further surgery may be required to prevent recurrence.

Perianal subcutaneous abscess is a subcutaneous purulent lesion caused by infection in the perianal area. The causes may include anal gland infection, trauma, poor hygiene habits or low immune function. Anal gland infection is the main cause of the disease. When bacteria invade the anal glands, inflammation occurs. Pus accumulates and cannot be discharged, causing swelling and pain. Poor external hygiene or injury to the skin and mucous membranes around the anus may also make it easier for bacteria to invade. Repeated friction or patients with low immune function such as diabetes are more likely to develop the disease. Typical manifestations of perianal subcutaneous abscess include severe local pain, redness, swelling, and fever. In severe cases, chills or fever may also occur. If these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately to prevent the abscess from rupturing or the spread of infection and aggravation of the condition.

The core of treating perianal subcutaneous abscess is to completely drain the pus in the abscess cavity. The most commonly used method is surgical incision and drainage. In mild cases, the operation is performed under local anesthesia. Severe patients may need hospitalization for surgery, such as perianal abscess incision and drainage or abscess cavity expansion and debridement. After drainage, oral antibiotic treatment is used, examples include amoxicillin clavulanate potassium, cephalosporins or levofloxacin to eliminate residual sources of infection. In terms of care, keep the area around the anus dry and clean, and disinfect it with warm salt water baths 2-3 times a day. This kind of care can not only promote wound recovery, but also prevent recurrence. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in dietary fiber such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and sufficient drinking water to keep bowel movements smooth and avoid constipation leading to secondary infection of the wound.

After the treatment is completed, you need to pay attention to preventing the recurrence of abscesses in your daily life. Develop good hygiene habits, clean the perianal area and change underwear every day; avoid sitting for long periods of time and exercise appropriately to promote local blood circulation; in addition, for patients with diabetes or immunodeficiency, controlling blood sugar and enhancing immunity are also very important. If you feel tenderness or nodules in the perianal area again, you should seek medical help as soon as possible. Timely treatment can shorten the course of the disease and avoid complex complications. Instead of enduring the pain or postponing medical treatment, it is better to take the initiative to face the problem and pay attention to your own health. The combination of professional treatment and daily prevention can completely improve the situation. Please believe that adhering to scientific treatment and careful care will definitely help you recover your health!
