Anal Abscesses old
Anal itching is caused by the irritation of the skin at the exit of the rectum, known as the anus, accompanied by the desire to scratch. Although itching may be a reaction to chemicals in the stool, it often implies that there is inflammation of the anal area.
The intensity of anal itching and the amount of inflammation increases from the direct trauma of scratching and the presence of moisture. At its most intense, anal itching causes intolerable discomfort that often is described as burning and soreness.
How Does An Anal Abscess Develop?
Perirectal and perianal abscesses are thought to develop from the glands surrounding the anus; on occasion, perianal abscesses may develop from infected skin adjacent to the anus. Glands may plug up, usually leading to bacterial infection.
When the glands fill with pus, they may burst inward, releasing their infected contents into the spaces around the rectum and anus. This pus causes an abscess, or pus collection, in the spaces surrounding the rectum or anus. The anal abscess may enlarge, causing pain, fever, and difficulty with bowel movements.
What Causes Anal Abscess?
An anal abscess can be caused by a variety of reasons, which include: a blocked anal gland, a sexually transmitted infection (STI), or an infected anal fissure. Some other risk factors include: Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, which are inflammatory bowel diseases that cause the body to attack healthy tissue.

How Does Our Anal Abscesses Treatment Help?
While a less serious anal abscess may heal on its own through a sit bath or natural home remedies, it is recommended to see a specialist due to risk of infection from puss-like symptoms that are usually a sign of infection. Abscesses are usually a sign of bacterial infection that have formed in one place and if it is not treated, it will likely spread to other parts of the body, and in this case, the groin and rectal area.
We recommend that if you suspect that you have an anal abscess, seek treatment immediately. We use a non-invasive anal abscesses treatment involving a combination of conventional and oriental methods with botanical medicines. Schedule an appointment at our hemorrhoid clinic to learn more.
