The physical functions of newborn babies have not fully evolved, and the organ functions of the body are still relatively fragile. If the body is invaded by bacteria, the gastrointestinal function will definitely be stimulated, and the baby's digestive function is still relatively poor. Perianal abscess is caused by inflammation of the perianal space due to bacteria in the intestine, leading to lesions. Can a baby's perianal abscess heal on its own?
Will a baby's perianal abscess heal on its own
Perianal abscess, also known as perianal abscess, is referred to as anal abscess in traditional Chinese medicine. Perianal abscess is an acute suppurative infectious diseases that occurs around the anus, anal canal and rectum. It belongs to bacterial infection and is the precursor of anal fistula. This disease and anal fistula are one of the three major anorectal diseases. The incidence rate is about 2%, accounting for 8%~25% of anorectal diseases. The incidence rate of children is relatively high.
After the occurrence of perianal abscess, it should be taken seriously. Abscesses that occur on both sides of the anus, including the ischiorectal and pelvic rectal fossa, as well as under the perineal fascia on the male anterior side, are the most dangerous. If not treated in a timely manner, they may lead to septic shock and even endanger life. Perianal abscess will not heal on its own.
Clinical manifestations of perianal abscess
The main symptom of perianal abscess is pain, which can be very severe and gradually worsen. Many patients say they cannot eat or sleep. After the abscess ruptures on its own, the pain temporarily subsides.
Severe anal pain occurs in a low abscess, and this pain persists. Perirectal abscess (high position) may not necessarily cause pain. Because the area around the rectum belongs to the pelvic cavity, the autonomic nerves distributed here are not sensitive to ordinary stimuli, and the main manifestations are local bloating and sensation of defecation.
Another symptom of perianal abscess is fever, which can reach up to 40 ℃. Generally speaking, the larger and deeper the abscess cavity, the higher the probability of fever. Some patients may also experience difficulty urinating, poor appetite, and insomnia.
If a baby shows symptoms of perianal abscess, parents must not take it lightly. This disease cannot be ignored, and it is necessary to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in a timely manner in order to cure it as soon as possible and reduce the impact of the disease on the baby's physical health. At ordinary times, parents should pay attention to the feeding of the baby's nutrition. Improving immunity can prevent the incidence rate of this disease.
