In the early stage of perianal abscess, antibiotics and Chinese herbal medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying can be taken internally and Chinese herbal ointment for clearing heat and detoxifying canker sores can be applied externally to keep the inflammation under control and not continue to expand. However, although the symptoms of local swelling and pain can be reduced or even disappear in such cases, they often recur and still require surgery. The principle of treatment is that early surgery is advisable once a perianal abscess becomes pus. Most of the perianal abscesses are caused by the infection of the anal glands and spread to the surrounding area, so if the infected anal glands and sinuses are not treated during surgery, the perianal abscesses will not be cured and develop into anal fistulas, which are actually different stages of a disease.
