How to prevent recurrence of perianal abscess

The key method to avoid recurrence of perianal abscess is to maintain good anal hygiene, adjust diet structure, improve bowel habits, and carry out standardized treatment according to the doctor's advice to eliminate potential sources of infection and hidden dangers.

Recurrence of perianal abscesses is usually related to incomplete clearance of local infection, unhealthy living habits, and digestive tract problems. To prevent recurrence, the primary disease must be treated thoroughly first. If abscess incision and drainage surgery or sinus tract removal surgery has been performed, regular checkups are necessary to ensure that the infected area is healing well. If the abscess is caused by an internal disease such as inflammatory bowel disease or chronic constipation, the primary disease should be actively treated and controlled through medications such as anti-infective drugs (such as cephalosporins) and sulfasalazine for people with inflammation; in terms of surgery, if the sinus tract is not completely cured, a second surgery may be required for complete repair. Local care of the perianal area is particularly important. Warm water sitz baths can be used to promote blood circulation, accelerate wound recovery, and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth.

In order to avoid the recurrence of perianal abscess, you need to pay attention to diet conditioning in daily life and increase the intake of dietary fiber, such as eating more green leafy vegetables and whole grains, such as brown rice and oats; reduce the intake of spicy and greasy foods, prevent constipation and keep the bowels open. Develop the habit of regular bowel movements, do not sit for long periods of time, do not hold back stools, and avoid excessive local pressure. Exercise is conducive to the health of the digestive tract. It is recommended to perform low-intensity exercises such as walking or yoga appropriately. At the same time, pay attention to the cleanliness of the perianal area, change underwear regularly, and avoid bacterial invasion. If you have anal discomfort or pain, consult a doctor as soon as possible to detect potential problems early and reduce the risk of infection.

Mental health is equally important in recovery. Chronic diseases may bring psychological pressure. Maintaining an optimistic attitude can help improve immunity and promote the recovery process. If you have repeated relapses or uncertain problems, please seek help from a professional medical institution in time, get a timely diagnosis and receive targeted treatment, fundamentally solve the hidden dangers, and improve the quality of life.
