When the stool is constipated, the feces stored in the rectum can easily block the anal crypts, causing anal cryptitis and forming anorectal abscesses. At the same time, dry and hard stools that abrade the skin of the anal canal or anal crypts can also cause anorectal abscesses. Prolonged diarrhea can cause loose stools to enter the anal crypts, stimulating inflammation of the anal crypts and inducing infection.

Anal cryptitis and anal papillitis can be treated with rectal suppositories, oral antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine to prevent the inflammation from getting worse and even festering to form anorectal abscesses.
