Can you smoke after perianal abscess surgery?

You can’t smoke after perianal abscess surgery. Perianal abscess is a suppurative infection in the rectal and anal canal tissues or in the interstitial space around it. Perianal abscess surgery includes incision and drainage and radical abscess surgery, etc. As there will be a certain amount of wounds after the surgery, it takes time to recover, and if you smoke after the surgery, it is possible that nicotine in the cigarettes will stimulate the wounds and cause vasoconstriction, which in turn will affect the healing of the wounds. At the same time, the harmful substances in cigarettes are not conducive to the absorption of drugs, leading to a decline in the body’s immunity. So you can’t smoke after perianal abscess surgery. Postoperative smoking may also lead to increased vascular fragility, thereby increasing the possibility of wound bleeding, not conducive to the recovery of the wound. At the same time, patients should also maintain a light diet, avoid drinking alcohol, pay more attention to rest, avoid staying up late. If there is any discomfort after the operation, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to give appropriate treatment to avoid affecting the normal recovery after the operation.
