How long it takes to go to work after perianal abscess surgery should depend on the condition of the abscess and the nature of the work. When the abscess is shallow and the work intensity is light, you can go to work normally in about 2 weeks; if the abscess is deep and the work intensity is heavy, it will take about one month. Perianal abscess is a purulent lesion in the soft tissue space around the anus, which requires incision and drainage. According to the study of “Observation of the effect of postoperative evidence-based nursing care for patients with perianal abscess”, it is known that for patients with shallow abscess, good recovery, and patients engaged in work with low intensity, they can go to work normally about 2 weeks after the abscess incision, but they should pay attention to changing the medication well during the recovery period and keep the wound clean and dry. If the patient’s perianal abscess site is deeper, fever, chills and other accompanying symptoms, and patients engaged in heavy physical labor, the postoperative recovery should be about a month to go to work, and in the recovery period should be taken orally, such as levofloxacin, cefaclor and other broad-spectrum antibiotics to control infection. If there is much secretion and poor drainage after perianal abscess surgery, you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid pseudo-healing and recurrence.
