There is a lump on the side of the asshole

A lump grows around the anus. There are many reasons for this symptom. If you do not pay attention to personal hygiene, it may cause blockage of hair follicles and cause hair inflammation, which is easy to cause this symptom. In addition, if the patient has hemorrhoids, it may cause perianal abscess, which is also easy to cause this symptom. Therefore, you should go to the hospital for examination in time and then receive symptomatic treatment. You can use oral medications and external cleaning methods.

How to treat perianal abscess

1. Select the area below where the abscess is most obviously fluctuating, make radial incisions, perform blunt separation, and drain the accumulated pus. If the incision edges overlap, the wound edges can be trimmed to facilitate drainage and avoid dead space.

2. For superficial subcutaneous abscesses, while making an incision and draining the pus, look for the infected anal sinus at the dentate line, i.e. the internal opening; then extend the incision to connect it with the internal opening; trim the incision edges to extend the incision appropriately outside the anus, and place drainage devices to facilitate drainage.

3. For submucosal abscess, the abscess site needs to be exposed under an anoscope, and a longitudinal incision is made in the center to drain the pus. Then, the abscess cavity is separated with vascular forceps, the residual pus is drained, and red ointment gauze is placed for drainage.

In addition, postoperative care for perianal abscess in children is very important. Parents should change the dressing on their children's affected area regularly every day, keep it clean, and remember not to use antibiotics on the wound to avoid adverse consequences.

What to eat for perianal abscess

1. Foods rich in fiber. Foods rich in fiber can promote the baby's gastrointestinal motility and prevent dry stools. This way, the baby will not feel pain or even be unwilling to defecate because of dry and hard stools that hurt the anal canal. Such foods include potatoes, celery, eggplant, bananas, corn, etc.

2. Green food. Vegetables such as spinach, celery, winter melon, loofah, pumpkin, mung bean, soybean, rapeseed, day lily, fungus, kelp, radish, and wild rice stem are relatively light. In addition to preventing dry stools, they can clear away heat and detoxify, and can effectively relieve symptoms of local swelling and pain in the anus and pus and water discharge.

3. Drink more cool drinks. You can choose beverages such as green tea, chrysanthemum tea, honeysuckle tea, and mung bean soup, which can also prevent the formation of anorectal abscesses and relieve the symptoms of anorectal abscesses.
