Abscess on rectum
Common Questions and Answers about Abscess on rectum
abscess
Antibiotics treat the infection that has caused the abscess. The specific antibiotic depends on what infectious organism has caused the abscess. Whether the abscess is drained or not, antibiotics are always used to treat the underlying infection.
Needle aspiration of the abscess to remove the infectious fluid. This can be done on superficial abscesses that can be reached by a needle and syringe.
For those abscesses inaccessible by a needle, surgical drainage is done.
I know it may sound really strange but I am in so much pain from recurrent abscesses. The abscesses are usually on my leg or in my arm pit and under my breast. I had one in my rectum area too. I had been to the doctors so many times and put on dicloxicillin which seemed to help at the time, yet they still kept on recurring. i don't know what to do.......
4 weeks ago I had what felt like an abscess in my rectum. After a few days I went to the toilet and passed out a bit of blood and what looked like an abscess. I went to the doctors the next day and he said that the bleeding looks like it's coming from further up and not near my rectum. After that I had a day of passing small amounts of blood and after that bowel movements were normal, no blood or diarhhea just a bit of mucus.
The pain in the anus can be due to anal sex (causing a tear inside, just a though, may not be true in your case), fissures or due to infection. It could also be due to an abscess. Infected piles is another possibility. At times such a pain is due to compression of spinal nerves. Infection with herpes simplex virus can also be another cause. IBS can also cause a feeling of pressure in rectum. It is difficult to comment without examination.
Hope this helps.
I had a perianal abscess 2 years ago and it turned into a fistula because I let it go too long without treatment. It was operated on with fistulotomy and healed perfectly within 3 months time and I have no further issues with it. My uncle also had the same thing 10 years ago and has experienced no further issues. I tend to have an OCD (diagnosed) and panicky personality, so I've had every test imaginable- colonoscopy with biopsies, IBD blood test, full blood panel, and two fecal tests.
almost like the burn you get when working a muscle out to the point of burn and then waiting 4 hours before stopping. I will not have the repair done on my vaginal wall; I watched a video on YouTube and it frightened me.
How are you now? When you posted last you said there was a little improvement...what about now? Can you tell me what actually helps? It's been gradually getting worse in the last 5 years, its more unbearable all the time now.
i went to the doctors a month and half a go because i was noticing blood in the toilet and on the tissue paper when i passed a stool. he checked my back passage for hemroids and couldn't find any. he said i could have hemroids inside. he told me to come back in a month if it continues. but since seeing the doctor it has not been happening that often and i even went like 3 weeks without it happening.but today it has started again and there was quite a lot of blood .
Yesterday my husband, aged 54yrs had drainage of an abscess? diagnosed following ct scan for a lump between anus and scotum which tripled in size over the previous week. Has been in pain since the May 08 followup colonoscopy which led to bleeding for 2 days, and then a month of ++ bleeding in September. Severe pain - on Tramal twice per day plus paracetamol 4 x day.

Hello,
Few possibilities which need to be ruled out in your case are of constipation, proctottis or inflammation of the lining of the rectum, perianal abscess caused by infection in the gland in the anal canal by the bacteria found in faeces, hemorrhoids, proctalgia fugax and levator ani syndrome.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
May want to have a rectal- ultrasound to see where the abscess (fistula) is and find out if the abscess is gone. I'm on Medicaid and they covered the tests and surgeries.

Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral. Take care!
I have been given numerous anti-fungal/hemmorhoid creams to try and alleviate the symptoms but to no avail. On one of my visits I also got my doctor to check my groin lymph nodes as I felt one on the left side bigger than all the rest. She said it was normal as it wasn't tender, but it has never gone down in size. It actually feels like a pulled muscle but she didnt say it wasn't a lymph node problem.
For about a week now, my entire groin area has become red and irritated. It itches and burns constantly. The red area extends from the space between my scrotum and rectum up to the creases between my legs and groin. It has not reached on to my scrotum or penis. Some areas have become a pale nasty color. The inner walls of my thighs have become swollen, making it very difficult to walk without pain. Also the entire area sweats a nasty slime that stinks and leaves my underwear wet.
My lates problem was on September 21 of this year when I ended up with an abscess on top of the hernia scar. I ended up going in by ambulance to get the abscess exised and drained. I spent the next days on IV for antibiotics due to having had sepsis from the abscess.
I hope that this will be the last of the problems that I will have with that region of my body. I might need to have surgery to repair a fistula between my prostate and rectum. Hopefully I can do without that.
All the best.
Could this be an anal abscess? It feels like a hidden pimple on one's face that would itch and then the pain would increase as the pressure increased. One online surgeon suggested it could be folliculitis. I applied neosporin, with no relief. Last night I applied the lidocaine 3% 0.5% hydrocortisone as indicated and also on that area. It is at 4 o'clock on the anal rim. How much longer should I wait until I make an appointment with a dermatologist?
Judging by your description, it is most likely a fistula which is a tract that forms from the abscess of your infected tooth that escapes out to the gums. As long as the fistula in intact, your abscess can drain and slow down the spread of the abscess but if the fistula closes up, the abscess can spread rapidly through your face or neck area.
I would recommend seeing a dentist and getting treatment started.
to lubricate stool and make it easier to pass.
There are 2 methods that I'm aware of, and you have to be careful or you'll end up with a face full of really nasty smelly stuff. :-)
One method is to grab a handful of kleenex, hold up the dog's tail, and place your kleenex-covered fingers and 10:00 and 2:00 relative to the rectum. You have to push in and fill the pillow-like glands and then squeeze behind them as you pull outward.
I am 40 yrs old male .i had an abscess on my right hip i consult the doctor ,he suggest me an antibiotic twice for four days.after 3-4 days another abscess develop just 10mm above and again after 2-3 days 10mm another abscess develop but i am taking antibiotic regularly .what are the reason of repeating abscess & what is the permanent treatment to get rid of these.
ve had unusual pressure in the rectum. Early in proceedings I felt what I assumed was a hemorrhoid half in half out, it felt like the lead of a pencil about 1cm long. That went away but the pressure remained and got worse. This developed into referred pain in the buttocks (particularly right), lower back and right leg.
I am healthy and eat healthy. I have been having pain while passing stool on the left side of my rectum about an inch from the exterior of my anus. It feels like a needle is being pushed into my skin when I defecate. I have not seen blood in my stool or on the toilet paper, and there is little to no pain while sitting and not using the bathroom, only when I poop.
The pathology lab informed me there was nothing abnormal about the skin. Separately, I developed an anal abscess from a rough episode of anal sex, for which I was treated with antibiotics. I still have scar tissues from this abscess.
At some point in 2008, I developed an anal fissure, which seems to disappear, but then immediately opens back up any time I have anal sex. I also have two disturbances, one at the top and one at the bottom of the anus, which are raised and blue in color.
