What is the reaction of perianal abscess?

If you suspect you have an anal abscess, it is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible, as this disease may cause serious complications. Common symptoms of an anal abscess include pain, redness, swelling, and tenderness around the anus. In severe cases, systemic symptoms such as fever and fatigue may also occur.

Perianal abscess is caused by bacterial infection of glands or other tissues around the anus, followed by the formation of an abscess. Common causes include infection caused by anal fissures, complications of anal fistulas, trauma to the anus, or infection after surgery. In addition, people with weakened immunity and diabetes are more susceptible to this disease. The early symptoms mainly manifest as pain, redness and swelling around the anus, which is especially painful when sitting, standing or walking, and is sometimes accompanied by chills and high fever. The severity of these symptoms depends on the location and size of the abscess.

There are two main methods for treating perianal abscesses: conservative treatment and surgical drainage. If the abscess is small, early diagnosis can try warm water sitz baths, antibiotics and improved diet to promote self-healing. However, most cases require surgical drainage, and specific methods include simple incision and drainage, anal fistula excision and abscess irrigation. After surgery, attention should be paid to wound care, keeping the affected area clean and dry, and changing the dressing regularly. At the same time, avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. The diet should be light and easy to digest, and eat more foods rich in crude fiber to prevent constipation.

In daily life, to prevent perianal abscesses, you need to maintain good anal hygiene, avoid using too many irritating detergents, promptly treat anal problems such as anal fissures and hemorrhoids, maintain a healthy lifestyle, and improve immunity. When you encounter related symptoms, communicate with your doctor in time and do not underestimate any discomfort. If you already have symptoms of abscesses, you should see a doctor as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment and worsening the condition.

Leave it to a professional doctor and pay attention to personal care. Perianal abscess can be cured. The most important thing is not to ignore the psychological pressure and emotional regulation, maintain a calm state of mind, and face the pain with courage and optimism. I hope everyone can be responsible for health issues, seek professional medical help in time, and protect their own health.
