Acute paraproctitis

Acute Paraproctitis is an inflammation of the tissues around the rectum, characterized by pain, swelling, and, in some cases, purulent discharge. This condition results from an infection that enters the tissues surrounding the rectum, usually through blocked anal glands. Paraproctitis can range in severity and requires timely treatment.

Causes of Acute Paraproctitis:

Infection in the anal glands.
Penetration of bacteria into surrounding tissues through injuries or wounds.
Chronic inflammations in the rectal area.
Weakened immune system.

Symptoms of Acute Paraproctitis:

Pain in the anal area — persistent, intense pain that worsens during defecation or sitting.
Swelling and redness — there may be swelling, redness, or increased puffiness around the anus.
Purulent discharge — pus may be discharged from the anal area.
Fever — elevated body temperature, general weakness, and malaise.
Defecation difficulties — pain during defecation, difficulty passing stool.

Treatment Methods for Acute Paraproctitis at the "Helуos" Surgery and Rehabilitation Center:

1.Conservative Treatment — in the early stages:

Antibiotics to fight the infection.
Anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and swelling.
Special baths to reduce swelling and inflammation.

2.Surgical Treatment — for more severe cases:

Abscess Drainage — the main method for treating acute paraproctitis, which involves opening the abscess and removing pus to prevent further spread of the infection.
Removal of Damaged Tissues — in cases of severe inflammation, surgical removal of damaged tissues or glands may be required.

3.Post-Operative Care:

After surgery, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendations to prevent recurrence and improve healing:

Use of antiseptic treatments.
Monitoring for possible complications (recurrent infections, prolonged pain, poor healing).
Regular visits to the doctor for post-operative checkups.
