What disease causes anal redness and swelling

Anal redness and swelling is a common disease. More serious patients will develop anal purulent redness and swelling, which will directly lead to chronic infection and necrosis of rectal tissue. The infection of tissue causes edema. Patients with anal redness and swelling can usually adjust through some appropriate methods. It is also possible that the anal redness and swelling is caused by many reasons such as thrombosed external hemorrhoids, old anal fissures, etc. Pay attention to it in normal times and go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

Common diseases

Perianal abscess

Perianal abscess is a common anorectal disease, which refers to an acute or chronic suppurative infection occurring in the soft tissue around the anorectum or in the surrounding space, resulting in the formation of an abscess.

Inflammatory external hemorrhoids

Inflammatory external hemorrhoids are mainly caused by inflammation and edema of external hemorrhoids. There are many causes, the most common of which are catching a cold, being tired, going out, drinking, etc. I feel as if my anus is prolapsed, and there is pain, swelling and discomfort.

Thrombosed external hemorrhoids

This is because factors such as straining during defecation and coughing increase abdominal pressure, causing the small veins under the skin around the anus to rupture, resulting in subcutaneous bleeding and blood clots, causing pain and discomfort. The larger the blood clot, the more painful it is. A bluish skin bump can be seen on the surface.

Old anal fissure

Due to long-term and repeated fissures, local inflammation and hyperplasia occur repeatedly, forming a protruding structure similar to external hemorrhoids. Because the hemorrhoid is located just outside the anus, we call it "sentinel hemorrhoid" or "sentinel hemorrhoid". Sometimes it can become inflamed and swollen like external hemorrhoids, causing pain.

Precautions

1. Do not sit still for a long time: Do not sit in a chair for several hours in a row. Even if you have to do so, you should get up and move around for at least 5 minutes every hour.

2. Do not squat on the toilet for too long: The time spent sitting on the toilet should not exceed 5 minutes each time. Especially do not read while sitting on the toilet, as this is an extremely unhygienic habit.

3. Sit in a warm bath: Soaking your buttocks in warm water may be the best way of treatment. Warm water promotes blood circulation in the affected area, helps shrink swollen veins there, and relieves pain.

4. Do not scratch the affected area: The affected area of ​​hemorrhoids may be itchy, but do not use scratching to relieve the discomfort, as that will damage the fragile venous walls of the rectum and make the situation worse.

If you encounter difficulty in defecation, please do not force it. You can use some enema to help with defecation and keep the bowel movement smooth.

④ Develop good exercise habits: You can go outside for a run or a walk every morning or evening, which will help promote normal blood circulation in the anus, improve resistance, relieve work and study pressure, and keep your mood happy.
