In summer, especially around the holidays, people’s usual diet and routine irregularities, resulting in a high incidence of perianal abscess, an anal disease, remind everyone to pay attention to their buttocks, whether they have this “bag”. Butt pouch – what are the symptoms of perianal abscess? Some people describe the buttocks as having a bag: What’s going on? I feel a hard knot on my buttocks, a puss, and it hurts! Perianal abscesses are mainly painful, swollen, and lumpy around the anus, and they develop quickly. Typical symptoms are pus pockets around the anus and buttocks, and even swelling on both sides of the buttocks, and in some cases, abscesses can even occur in the perineum as well. Moreover, mild and severe symptoms, such as fever, sleepiness, and restlessness, will appear at the same time. Some patients may even develop toxic symptoms of sepsis. Usually, the deeper the abscess occurs, the more severe the fever and systemic symptoms are, while the local swelling and pain are mild, and some people may experience frequent urination and anal drop; the more superficial the abscess occurs, the patient has low fever, but the local pain is more painful, and it is a flashing throbbing pain, and the pain increases at night. Butt pouch – can a perianal abscess become serious if left untreated? If you have a perianal abscess and do not want to treat it aggressively, things will get complicated. An untreated perianal abscess can lead to residual inflammation at the internal opening of the anal saphenous fossa, the fibrotic canal, and the external opening of the skin rupture, which will eventually lead to the formation of a fistula. The most important thing is that it is a complex disease and if not treated in a timely manner, it can be very harmful to your health. The people who are suffering from anal fistula have their own personal experience and pain. The first thing is that the anal fistula becomes inflamed, the anal pain is intense, the pus pollutes the underwear after it breaks down, the pus stimulates the local skin, and the anal itching is intense. The more often the attack will be, the more frequent it will be. The fistula is multiple and can form a rectovaginal fistula, rectourethral fistula and rectal bladder fistula, endangering the surrounding organs, and there is a possibility of cancer in old fistulas that have been left untreated or mistreated for years. If the fistula is allowed to develop and recur many times, the pus can penetrate the wall and spread through the sphincter to become multiple, complex fistulas, which not only makes treatment difficult, but also affects the physiological function of the anus. Studies have shown that men are more likely to suffer from perianal abscesses and should drink less alcohol and eat less spicy, fried food. Young and strong men are more prone to perianal abscesses, especially those with damp-heat, dry-heat, and yang-heat constitutions, as well as obese people, and sedentary office workers on weekdays. Butt pouch – what are the preventive measures for perianal abscess? You should avoid eating spicy and fried foods such as chili, barbecue and fried chicken, and drink less hot and humid products such as beer and white wine, thus avoiding harm to the anorectum. Patients with a history of hemorrhoids, anal sinusitis and other anal diseases should pay more attention to diet. It is advisable to eat a light diet, drink more water, defecate more often, and avoid being sedentary and get up more often. Keep your bowels open to avoid dry stools that can cause damage to the rectum and produce disease.
