What to do about anal cysts

Anal cysts need to be treated surgically. Anal cysts include sebaceous cysts, epidermis-like cysts, and perianal abscesses caused by local purulent infections, and either disease needs to be treated surgically, as follows: a. For sebaceous cysts around the anus and epidermis-like cysts, there are usually no clinical symptoms, and they mainly appear as abnormal swellings around the anus, with mostly clear borders and soft texture. The borders are mostly clear and soft, and they need to be surgically removed at an elective stage to be completely cured. For perianal abscesses caused by purulent infections, surgical incision of the abscess cavity is required to ensure smooth drainage of the pus. At present, in clinical practice, most of the perianal abscesses are treated by one-time radical surgery, which can prevent the development of anal fistula and the need for secondary surgery after surgery.
