Perirectal Abscesses

Perirectal abscesses and fistulas represent anorectal disorders arising predominately from the obstruction of anal crypts. Infection of the now static glandular secretions results in suppuration and abscess formation within the anal gland. The Perianal abscesses typically forms initially within the intersphincteric space and then spreads along adjacent potential spaces. An abscess is collection of pus within soft tissues. A furuncle can have one or more openings onto the skin and may be associated with a fever or chills. This is a unique kind of abscess that occurs in the crease of the buttocks. Pilonidal cysts often begin as tiny areas of infection in the base of the area of skin from which hair grows . Abscesses may occur in any kind of solid tissue but most frequently on skin surface , in the lungs, brain , kidneys and tonsils. It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body. Abscesses are common problems in women of reproductive age.

An abscess is a collection of pus collected in a cavity formed by the tissue on the basis of an infectious process or other foreign materials. There are two types of abscesses, septic and sterile. Most abscesses are septic, which means that they are the result of an infection. Septic abscesses can occur anywhere in the body. Occurs when hosts response to infection is inadequate.Predisposing factors include foreign bodies, haematoma formation and poor blood supply. This is an abscess in the skin caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus.

White blood cells, the body's defense against some types of infection, migrate through the walls of the blood vessels into the area of the infection and collect within the damaged tissue It is rally around to kill the germs. Sometimes, abscesses will burst and drain, a way the body has of getting rid of the infection. An abscess is a collection of pus collected in a cavity formed by the tissue on the basis of an infectious process or other foreign materials . It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to the other parts of the body It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body. An abscess can start anywhere in the body where bacteria infect tissue. Drug shooters often get abscesses on their arms or legs The organisms or foreign materials that gain access to a part of tissue kill the local cells, release toxins and trigger an inflammatory response by drawing huge amounts of white blood clls to the area and increasing the regional blood flow.

Treatment of Perianal abscess

Treatment of Perianal abscess involves incision and drainage. This procedure involves the use of an injectable local anesthetic with subsequent incision of the abscess, allowing it to drain. Frequently, a packing of gauze is left in its place for 1-2 days.

Causes of the Abscesses

Many different agents cause abscesses. The most common are the pus-forming bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus . Abscesses can form in almost every part of the body and may be caused by infectious organisms, parasites, and foreign materials. Abscesses in the skin are readily visible and are red, raised, and painful Abscesses can form in almost every part of the body and may be caused by infectious organisms, parasites, and foreign materials. Abscesses in the skin are readily visible and are red, raised, and painful. Abscesses in other areas of the body may not be obvious, but if they involve vital organs they may cause significant damage Some common causes of specific abscesses are:

• skin abscesses by normal skin flora
• dental and throat abscesses by mouth flora
• lung abscesses by normal airway flora, pneumonia germs, or tuberculosis
• abdominal and anal abscesses by normal bowel flora

Symptoms of the Abscesses

The cardinal symptoms and signs of any kind of inflammatory process are redness, heat, swelling, and pain. After a few days superficial abscess usually 'point' and are fluctuant. Deep abscesses include diverticular, subphrenic and anastomotic leaks. Patients shows signs of inflammation - swinging pyrexia, tachycardia, tachypnoea. Physical signs are otherwise difficult to demonstrate. More information about symptoms of Abscess and related conditions.
