Paraproctitis: causes and symptoms
What is paraproctitis?
Paraproctitis is an inflammation process in which an infection occurs in the tissue of the peri-rectal region. First comes the inflammation of the deepest crypt. As a result of suppuration, she accumulates a large amount of pus and often opens herself. All the pus flows out into the intestine. But the most frequent cases are not an involuntary opening of an abscess, but its removal by a surgeon. But in this case, there is a likelihood of a relapse of an abscess or fistula. Symptoms of paraproctitisSymptoms of paraproctitis include a general deterioration in health, severe sharp pain when walking or coughing. There are no external signs. In more severe cases of the disease, fever, pain in the depths of the pelvis, and symptoms of poisoning with poisons (toxins) appear. Causes of paraproctitisThe causes of paraproctitis are: - cryptitis, - hemorrhoids, - anal fissures, - inflammation of the crypts and anal glands. Any of the above can be the cause of paraproctitis. Types of paraproctitisDistinguish between chronic and acute paraproctitis. Chronic paraproctitis can occur as a result of improper self-treatment. As a result of an autopsy at home, an abscess opening may remain in the anal, it does not heal and a fistula occurs. After difficult treatment of the fistula, a scar remains, which does not completely heal and becomes inflamed again with any injury. Repeated paraproctitis occurs. Moreover, the cause of a repeated abscess can be the most common constipation. Acute paraproctitis appears after rapid penetration of the infection into the cellular, usually subcutaneous space. |
Diagnostics of the paraproctitis
In order to correctly determine the nature of the disease and prescribe effective treatment, it is necessary to diagnose a sick person.
Paraproctitis treatment
The method of treating paraproctitis, both in acute and in chronic paraproctitis, is the same. If you do not treat paraproctitis in time or treat it incorrectly, then serious complications are possible. Fistula and inflammation may develop. Treatment is prescribed depending on the stage of the disease.
The successful treatment of paraproctitis depends not only on the stage of paraproctitis with which the patient has applied, but also on the area of localization of the abscess, the volume of the abscess and the doctor's experience
