Currently, the most effective way to treat perianal abscess is surgical drainage. Since it is surgery, post-operative care is particularly important. What issues need to be paid attention to?
Diet
Within 1-2 days after the operation, you can eat some liquid foods such as milk, juice, and soup. After that, you can eat foods without or with little residue, such as rice porridge and soft noodles. You should eat more vegetables and fruits 3 days after surgery. Such as celery, apples, oranges, bananas, etc.
Keep the wound clean
Keep the area around the anus clean and dry after surgery, and insist on sitz bath after defecation and before going to bed, which can effectively prevent infection and is more conducive to wound healing.
Enhance nutrition
The diet is mainly high in protein and low in fat to promote nutrient absorption. Avoid spicy, stimulating and alcoholic foods, and eat more fruits and vegetables to keep bowel movement smooth. Avoid eating raw, cold and greasy food to prevent diarrhea or feces clogging the anus.
Avoid force
Pay close attention to the occurrence of internal bleeding, because the postoperative wound is prone to bleeding or bleeding due to the ligature falling off. Therefore, patients should pay special attention not to exert too much force when defecating or sneezing to avoid bleeding.
Keep the stool smooth
Develop good defecation habits. Donât be afraid to defecate just because you have the urge to defecate just after surgery. Pay close attention to whether you have difficulty defecating during defecation. If so, you should consult a doctor in time. At the same time, attention should be paid to whether there are thinner stools or fecal incontinence.
Insist on dressing changes
Insist on dressing changes after surgery to facilitate observation of the wound and avoid excessive granulation hyperplasia or false healing.
After perianal abscess surgery, you should also pay attention to the fact that after the wound heals, the anal wound will form scar , which is hard in texture and may sometimes cause pain or pain after sitting for a long time. This is a normal phenomenon and the patient does not need to be nervous. As time goes by, the scar tissue is absorbed and softened, and the above feeling will gradually disappear. This stage usually lasts from 3 to 6 months. After sitz bath, topical medicine can be applied to the anal scar according to the guidance of the doctor to protect the new wound skin and avoid damage due to friction or strenuous exercise.
