How Do I Know I Have an Anal Abscess?

The primary way that an anal abscess identifies itself is through pain and discomfort. When an abscess develops, you’ll know as soon as it does, because you’ll immediately begin to experience the pain. Still, this discomfort isn’t always exclusive to an abscess, so an examination will be required to determine the actual cause of your pain.

Other symptoms often include:

Throbbing pain
Redness
Swelling
Pus
Painful BMs
Fever or chills
General malaise

What’s Causing My Issue?

The causes for an anal abscess can vary, but it does sometimes help to understand what sits at the root of the issue. If it turns out that your problems are being caused by lifestyle factors or improper dietary choices, Dr. Nandra can work with you to develop a plan that will keep the issue from coming back in the future. Some of the most common causes include:

Sexually transmitted diseases
Infections
Blocked anal glands
Unaddressed anal fissures

Treatment for Anal Abscesses

Antibiotics

As with many of the issues that we treat here at NYBG Colorectal, treating an anal abscess is always easier when the problem has been addressed early on. Antibiotics are often the starting point, as this problem is frequently caused by an infection. If this infection clears up with antibiotics, your problem will be solved!

Anal Abscess Surgery

Anal abscess surgery in NJ will remove an anal abscess under local anesthesia and is minimally invasive. The procedure takes between 30 minutes and one hour to complete, depending on the severity of the issue. The abscess will be drained, enabling it to begin naturally healing itself from the inside out.

The Surgical Procedure

During anal abscess surgery, Dr. Nandra will make a small incision near the affected area, enabling him to completely remove the infection. While performing the surgery, he will also look for any other lesions or signs of infection. Then the abscess will be packed with sterile gauze, enabling it to heal and ensuring that no pocket is left.
