How to prevent perianal abscess
1Actively prevent and treat other anorectal diseases, such as anal sinusitis, anal papilloma hypertrophy, anal fissure, inflammatory hemorrhoids, and rectitis, and timely, correct, and effective treatment can prevent and reduce perianal infection, abscesses, and anal fistulas.
2The prevention and treatment of constipation and diarrhea are of great significance in preventing perianal rectal infection. It can avoid and reduce the damage or inflammation of the mucosa and epithelial tissues in the perianal rectal area, and can reduce the incidence of abscesses and anal fistulas.
3If perianal rectal infection occurs, it is important to seek medical treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible and adopt effective anti-infection measures, including systemic and local treatment, to prevent the spread and diffusion of inflammation. Do not believe in quacks or so-called 'ancestral' propaganda and delay diagnosis and treatment.
4Maintaining cleanliness and hygiene of the anal area, changing underwear frequently, and persistently washing the anus after each defecation has a positive effect on preventing infection. Avoid diarrhea and constipation, which can stimulate the anal crypts and cause inflammation, leading to perianal abscess. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of constipation and diarrhea are of great significance in preventing the formation of perianal abscesses.
5Constipation can cause anal congestion and dry feces to rub against the anus. Some people may wipe the anus repeatedly due to fear of cleanliness, which can cause anal mucosa to prolapse and anal sinuses to be exposed outside the anus during the wiping process, while also receiving mechanical stimulation, leading to congestion and edema, and then infection and inflammation, forming anal sinusitis. Anal sinusitis can develop into anal abscess. Therefore, after defecation, the anus should be washed with warm water, using soft and clean old towels to wipe away the water droplets around the anal skin, rather than wiping the anus, and definitely not using coarse and hard low-quality toilet paper to wipe the anus with force.
6It is important to treat systemic diseases that can cause perianal abscesses in a timely manner, such as ulcerative colitis, intestinal tuberculosis, Crohn's disease, etc.
7It is advisable to eat less spicy and刺激性 foods, especially in summer, as cold drinks and raw foods often cause diarrhea, leading to the occurrence of abscesses. Regular physical exercise should be done to enhance physical fitness. People who sit or stand for long periods of time are more prone to local circulatory disorders around the anus, reducing local disease resistance and increasing the risk of infection. Therefore, those who sit for long periods of time should actively participate in sports to increase the local disease resistance of the anus. Do not sit on wet ground for a long time, as sitting on grass or wet soil can cool and moisten the anal area, reducing disease resistance and making it easier for pathogenic factors to invade the anus and cause infection.
