What is the best way to treat anal sinusitis

Suffering from anal sinusitis is very painful and requires active treatment. The most common cause of anal sinusitis is rectal disease. However, once anal sinusitis is diagnosed, you need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time, and try to detect and treat it early. Before the cause is found out, do not take medication blindly. Be sure to take medication under the guidance of a doctor. In order to prevent the aggravation of anal sinusitis, the earlier the treatment, the better.

What is the best way to treat anal sinusitis?

The treatment of anal sinusitis depends on the patient's condition. When the patient's condition is relatively mild, conservative treatment can be applied, such as sitz baths or local physical therapy. When anal sinusitis worsens, further treatment is required, such as infusion, drainage of anal sinus abscesses, or anal sinus resection surgery. Anal sinusitis Under normal circumstances, the glands in the anus are higher and located in the anal crypts. Normally, there are 8-12 glands. If the anus does not have 12 glands, the anal canal will become rough. The glands secrete a kind of mucus that can act as a lubricant, but the anal glands are trumpet-shaped and can be easily eroded by bacteria, causing anal sinusitis.

The dangers of anal sinusitis

It is generally believed that anal sinusitis is often a precursor to perianal abscess and anal fistula. If not cured in time, it can easily lead to the latter, resulting in serious consequences such as redness, swelling, pain, and pus around the anus.

Hazard 1: Anal sinusitis usually manifests as burning, heaviness, frequent bowel movements and wet anus, and occasionally pain in the anus or coccyx. Due to the hidden growth site, mild symptoms during infection, intermittent attacks and atypical onset, the disease has a high misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rate in clinical practice.

Hazard 2: Anal sinusitis is usually also called anal cryptitis or anal glanditis. It is because the anal sinus is located at the junction of the end of the rectum and the anal canal, and the space is narrow. In addition, it is a group of annular depressions, which are easily damaged by dry and hard feces or foreign objects in the feces (fish bones, bamboo sticks, bones, etc.), and then infected and festered.

Hazard 3: Anal sinusitis is often a precursor to perianal abscess and anal fistula. If it is not cured in time, it can easily lead to the occurrence of the latter, resulting in serious consequences such as repeated redness, swelling, pain, and pus around the anus. Hazard 4: Acute inflammation can cause stinging, burning, and a feeling of falling in the anus. Anal pain may worsen during bowel movements, and a small amount of mucus and blood may often be discharged. After defecation, the anal sphincter may spasm, and the pain may last for a long time. Usually, when anal sinusitis progresses chronically, there are generally no obvious symptoms. The patient only feels occasional discomfort in the anus after defecation, and occasionally pain radiating to the perineum and coccyx.

Hazard 5: Anal sinusitis can also cause symptoms such as tenderness and nodules in the anal sinus area. If the inflamed anal sinus is visible under the speculum, it will be congested, edematous, red, and there may be a small amount of purulent secretions, and the anal sinus will become deeper.

Anal sinusitis, also known as anal cryptitis, is an inflammatory edema of the anal sinuses and anal valves, and inflammation and hyperplasia of the anal papilla. Because its symptoms are not serious and it is located in the anus, it is often ignored by doctors and patients. In fact, it is a common and frequently occurring disease and an important infection focus in the anorectal area.

The anal sinus is a weak link that is "easily injured". Why do we say so? Because the diameter of the rectal mucosa is larger, while the diameter of the anal canal skin is smaller, many wrinkles will form at the junction of these two parts, thus forming the anal sinus tissue.
