What is the normal incidence of perianal abscess?

The incidence of perianal abscess is relatively low in the general population, but for certain high-risk groups, the probability of occurrence is significantly higher, which is usually related to bad living habits, intestinal health and immune function. According to statistics, the incidence rate of men is higher than that of women, especially middle-aged and young men are more susceptible to this disease, which needs to be paid attention to and intervened in time.

The main causes of perianal abscesses include many factors. From a genetic point of view, some people have a congenital tendency to abnormal anal gland structure. From the external environment, sitting for a long time, lack of exercise, and unhealthy diet (such as high fat and high sugar) may all lead to anal gland infection. At the same time, one's own physical constitution may also play an important role. Underlying diseases such as chronic intestinal inflammation, decreased immunity, or diabetes will significantly increase the risk. Anal fissures caused by trauma or long-term constipation may also provide an entry point for anal gland infection and eventually cause abscesses. Bad hygiene habits, frequent diarrhea or infectious intestinal disease can also easily induce this disease. Early symptoms often manifest as swelling and pain around the anus, fever, and local redness and swelling. If not treated in time, it may further develop into anal fistula, causing greater health risks. At this time, it is particularly important to seek medical attention in time.

For the treatment of perianal abscess, timely diagnosis and treatment are the key to preventing complications. If the abscess is small and the symptoms are mild, warm water sitz baths and antibiotics can be used to relieve inflammation; for patients with obvious abscesses, the infection needs to be directly drained through incision and drainage; patients with severe or recurrent attacks require surgical treatment, commonly used are anal fistula resection or hanging thread therapy. In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more high-fiber foods such as whole grains and vegetables to prevent constipation; keep the anus clean to avoid bacterial growth; usually do some light exercise such as brisk walking to promote blood circulation and help the recovery of perianal tissues. It is important not to ignore early symptoms of discomfort, go to the hospital as soon as possible to determine the cause through examination, and treat under professional guidance, which will help avoid the progression of the disease and protect the quality of life in the future.
