What are the sequelae of perianal abscess surgery?

The harm of perianal abscess has troubled many patients. In traditional medicine, the fundamental method of treating perianal abscess is surgery. However, if the disease is treated with surgery, postoperative complications will occur. If it is not treated, it will also cause harm due to the delay in treatment of the disease. What complications may occur after surgery for perianal abscess?

pain

There are many nerves around the anus and they are sensitive to various stimuli. After surgery, scarring will form in the anus. In the early stage, the scar is hard and there may be paroxysmal stabbing pain or local swelling and pain in the anus. Experts at the anorectal hospital say that as time goes by, the scar will gradually soften and the symptoms of anal pain and discomfort will disappear.

Bleeding

The anus is rich in local blood vessels, and the surgical wound is often tender when just discharged from the hospital. If the stool is dry, the friction of underwear and paper may scratch the skin of the wound that has not yet completely healed, resulting in blood on the toilet paper or even a few drops of blood during defecation. Experts at the anorectal hospital say that these are all normal phenomena. After continuing to sit in the bath and apply local medication, the symptoms will disappear after the wound is completely healed. However, if heavy bleeding occurs after discharge, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

Anal function damage

Perianal abscesses usually begin with anal gland infection. Experts at the anorectal hospital said that there are multiple gaps around the anus and the surrounding tissues are relatively loose. Once an anal gland is infected, if it is not treated in time, it will spread along the gaps. If the infection crosses the sphincter, surgery may cause damage to the anal sphincter, leading to damage to anal function.

In most cases, the symptoms of perianal abscess are easily ignored by patients, especially its early symptoms. It is recommended to treat it in the early stage. The advantages of early treatment of perianal abscess are very obvious, and it is easier to cure. Perianal abscess surgery not only requires high medical expenses, but also affects the patient's immunity, and also delays the patient's work and life. Therefore, many patients are willing to endure the pain brought by the disease and are unwilling to go to the hospital for treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a scientific treatment method, not only for perianal abscess, but also for other diseases. .
