Perianal Abscess Drainage
What is Perianal Abscess Drainage?
A perianal abscess is a collection of pus near the anus caused by infection in small anal glands. It leads to pain, swelling, redness, and sometimes fever.
If not drained, it can grow or turn into a chronic condition called a fistula-in-ano.
Perianal abscess drainage is a simple surgical procedure done under local or short general anesthesia to remove the pus, relieve pain, and prevent complications.
Dr. Davinder Singh provides safe and effective abscess drainage with timely intervention and post-procedure care.

Common signs of perianal abscess:
- Sudden, sharp pain near the anus
- Redness and swelling around the anal area
- Warm, tender lump
- Pus or fluid discharge
- Fever or chills (in severe cases)
- Difficulty sitting or walking
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually clinical:

Treatment Options
✅ Primary Treatment: Incision & Drainage (I&D)
- A small cut is made to release the pus
- Done under local or short general anesthesia
- The area is cleaned and left open to heal naturally
- No stitches are required
- In case of deep or complex abscess, a drain may be placed temporarily
⏳ Follow-Up
- Regular dressing for a few days
