How long does it take for a perianal abscess to heal after surgery

  The postoperative healing time of perianal abscess depends on the size of the lesion, the surgical method, the scope of intraoperative excision and other factors, ranging from 2-4 weeks to 2-3 months.  If the perianal abscess is small in size, it can be treated by incision and drainage, and the healing time after surgery is short, and it can be healed in 2 weeks with continuous drug changes. If the patient is old and weak, combined with diabetes, blood diseases, tuberculosis, malnutrition or anemia, the healing time can be more than 2-3 months, which is a delayed wound healing.  In addition, patients need to take a sitz bath with potassium permanganate solution every day after surgery, change medicine and clean the wound every day, supplement vitamin-rich and high-quality protein food, forbid spicy and greasy food, keep bowel movement smooth, and pay attention to rest at the same time.
