The recurrence rate of perianal abscess is high after radical surgery

Even if perianal abscess undergoes radical surgery, there is still a possibility of recurrence, which is related to many factors. Timely surgery can effectively relieve symptoms, but follow-up care and personal habits play an important role in recurrence.

Perianal abscess is a common disease caused by anal gland infection. The core problem is infection and pus accumulation. The purpose of surgery is to remove pus and relieve local pressure, but surgery itself cannot directly solve the root cause of infection. If the lesion is not completely removed, the anal gland is continuously damaged, or the wound is invaded by bacteria after surgery, it is easy to cause recurrence. In addition, patients with certain chronic diseases such as diabetes and immunosuppression are more likely to relapse due to their poor resistance.

The chance of recurrence is closely related to the surgical method, postoperative recovery, and personal constitution. Although some simple drainage surgeries can quickly relieve abscesses, they do not remove deep lesions of the lesions, and the risk of recurrence is high. Radical surgery to remove lesions theoretically reduces the probability of recurrence, but the doctor's surgical experience and the complexity of the lesions will also affect the effect. Irregular diet after surgery, excessive force during bowel movements, or poor hygiene habits will invisibly increase the possibility of recurrence.

In order to reduce the risk of recurrence, you need to pay attention to several aspects. Keeping the anus clean is the most basic step. Daily warm water washing can help reduce local bacterial growth. Eat a reasonable diet and eat more fruits and vegetables rich in dietary fiber to avoid constipation and reduce long-term anal pressure. At the same time, moderate exercise can help speed up blood circulation and enhance immunity. If you find that the wound is red, swollen or continues to discharge pus after surgery, you should communicate with your doctor as soon as possible to prevent potential infection.

If you have undergone surgery but still have recurrence or discomfort, you should consult a professional doctor in time to clarify the cause to avoid delaying treatment. Paying attention to postoperative care and adjusting your lifestyle habits can reduce the chance of recurrence to a certain extent and protect your health.
