Steps of thread therapy for perianal abscess

Perianal abscesses require drainage through surgery or other interventions, and thread hanging therapy is one of the more effective methods, which is mainly used to treat perianal abscesses with the possibility of anal fistula formation. The steps of thread hanging therapy need to be performed in a professional environment, usually including anesthesia, debridement and thread fixation.

Perianal abscess refers to infection of the tissues around the anus, which leads to local suppurative inflammation and the formation of an abscess. Early symptoms may include local swelling, pain and low fever. In severe cases, the abscess will increase in size and may rupture. Due to the complex anatomy of the perianal area, the infection can easily spread to other tissues, leading to the formation of anal fistulas. Therefore, treatment requires thorough removal of the infection source. At the same time, in order to avoid subsequent recurrence, it is particularly important to take effective measures to treat anal fistulas.

The specific steps of the hanging thread therapy are completed by professionals and are divided into the following steps:

1. Anesthesia: The patient will first be given local or lumbar anesthesia to ensure pain-free surgery. Professional anesthesia can help doctors operate more clearly and prevent the patient from being affected by pain during the surgery.

2. Debridement and drainage: During the operation, the abscess is cut open and the pus is completely drained to eliminate the infection. The doctor will carefully explore the fistula formation to ensure that the infection path is clear.

3. Hanging wire fixation: Use a specific probe to find the channel between the fistula and the perianal skin, insert a hanging wire (such as a rubber strip) into the fistula and fix it around it. The function of the hanging wire is to slowly drain and promote the gradual healing of the tissue around the fistula. In some cases, the hanging wire will be adjusted regularly to maintain appropriate tension for better treatment.

After surgery, you need to pay attention to protecting wound hygiene and regulating your diet. For example, adding fiber-rich foods such as green vegetables and oats to your diet can help keep your bowels open and reduce perianal pressure. For personal hygiene, you need to take a sitz bath regularly and wash the wound with warm water to reduce inflammation and promote healing. During the recovery period, patients should avoid standing or sitting for a long time to reduce local burden and speed up recovery.

Although the thread hanging therapy is effective, it may cause slight discomfort due to individual differences, such as local soreness or itching. Once the pain is significantly aggravated, the bleeding is persistent, or the infection is aggravated, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and seek further treatment to ensure smooth postoperative healing.
