Perianal Abscess Drainage

Perianal abscess drainage is a surgical procedure used to treat an infection that forms a painful pocket of pus near the anus. During the procedure, a surgeon makes a small incision to allow the pus to drain out, which helps relieve pressure and pain. This may be done in a clinic or hospital, sometimes under local anesthesia. After drainage, the area is cleaned and may require care to promote healing and prevent future infections. It’s an important step in treating the infection and alleviating discomfort for the patient.
