It is best not to puncture a perianal abscess yourself, as this can be painful, and then it is not good to determine whether there is pus inside or not. If you have a perianal abscess, it’s best to choose this specialized treatment because with a perianal abscess, there can be a primary internal opening, from which pathogenic bacteria can enter, leading to a suppurative infection of the perianal adipose tissue. The accumulation of pus leads to increased pressure in the pus cavity, increasing pain, and in many patients, generalized fever and these systemic symptoms. If the pus is already suppurating, incision and drainage can be performed, which is also done under anesthesia. In addition, if you want a radical cure, you can also do a one-time radical surgery based on incision and drainage, expanding the incision of the abscess cavity, and then deal with the inner mouth, so that the disease can be completely healed. If you simply puncture it, if it is pus, the pus can be drained out, which can relieve some pain, but the inner mouth can not be dealt with, the disease will also form an anal fistula in the later stage, and in the middle of the process, you will suffer a lot of pain. So if you have a perianal abscess, it is best to choose this kind of formal treatment, do not deal with it yourself.
