Perianal abscess turns into anal fistula

If perianal abscess is not treated promptly, it may develop into anal fistula. Be alert to the following signs. Perianal abscess is a common anal disease, which is mainly manifested by swelling, pain, fever, etc. in the perianal area. If the abscess drains on its own or the surgical drainage is incomplete, anal fistula may form. When the abscess ruptures, pus will flow out, and this pus flow may recur, and may even be accompanied by persistent discomfort and itching in the anal area. If persistent pus secretion is found in the perianal area and the wound is difficult to heal, it may indicate the formation of anal fistula. At this time, you should see a doctor as soon as possible and take appropriate treatment measures according to the doctor's advice.

After understanding the possibility of perianal abscess forming anal fistula, we need to pay attention to its specific causes. The causes of perianal abscess include infection, chronic intestinal lesions, etc. Bacterial infection is the most common cause of perianal abscess, which is common in people with weak resistance. In addition, intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease are also prone to the formation of perianal abscess. Once perianal abscess is formed, the long-term accumulation of pus may erode the surrounding tissues and form fistulas. Incomplete treatment and low immunity are also common reasons for the disease to progress to anal fistula. Effective treatment methods for abscesses usually include incision and drainage surgery, antibiotic treatment, and external application of Chinese medicine. Through incision and drainage, the pus can be discharged from the body in time, which helps to relieve symptoms and prevent fistulas. Antibiotics can help control infection and reduce the chance of abscess worsening, while external application of Chinese medicine helps to accelerate healing and reduce swelling. However, the most important thing to prevent perianal abscess from becoming anal fistula is active treatment intervention in the early stage and careful postoperative care.

In daily life, patients need to keep the anus clean and dry to reduce bacterial growth. In addition, a reasonable diet is also critical. It is recommended to consume more high-fiber foods, such as whole grains, vegetables and fruits, to ensure smooth bowel movements, thereby reducing perianal pressure. At the same time, quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption, which can promote local blood circulation and improve tissue repair ability. If symptoms recur, you should seek the help of a specialist. Active early treatment and regular postoperative review can effectively avoid the occurrence of complications. For patients, paying attention to lifestyle adjustments is also an important part of disease management. This kind of peace of mind is of great significance to the patient's recovery.
