What is a Perianal & Perirectal Abscess?

A Perianal abscess is a collection of pus that forms in the soft tissue around the anus, while a Perirectal abscess is deeper and occurs in the space surrounding the rectum. These abscesses are typically caused by blocked anal glands, infections, or underlying conditions like Crohn’s Disease, especially in children and immunocompromised patients.

Symptoms to Watch For

  • Pain and swelling near the anus

  • Redness and warmth in the area

  • Pus or drainage from a boil near the anus

  • Fever or chills in more severe infections

  • Irritability or discomfort in children during bowel movements

In infants and children, the condition can be easily mistaken for diaper rash or general discomfort, so careful examination is crucial.

Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad

Diagnosis is made through clinical examination, and in some cases, ultrasound or MRI may be used to determine the extent of the infection.

The standard treatment involves:

  • Incision and drainage (I&D) of the abscess to release the pus

  • Antibiotics, especially if there’s a surrounding infection or fever

  • Wound care and hygiene management post-procedure

  • In recurrent cases or if a fistula (abnormal connection between the skin and rectum) develops, fistulotomy surgery may be recommended

Our surgical center in Ghaziabad is fully equipped for both minor and complex procedures, ensuring your comfort and quick recovery.
