There are diseases that people prefer to keep quiet about. Usually these are diseases associated with the rectum or genitals. This is partly why they do not seek medical help on time, which only leads to an aggravation of the disease and the inevitable entry into the doctor’s office. Only in this case the question already arises, which doctor’s office? Often, he is already a surgeon, who with a scalpel will heal the patient from a running disease. But the disease could be cured without surgical intervention, if the patient promptly consulted a doctor.
One of these diseases is paraproctitis. Its treatment sometimes begins when the inflammatory process of the tissues of the rectum has gone far. The main symptomatic signs of this disease are sharp pain in the anus, fever, problems with urination and direct bowel movements. Also, in addition to all of the above, this disease is accompanied by redness of the anal area and the formation of an abscess, which increases over time, which leads to increased pain. During a visual examination, experienced proctologists diagnose paraproctitis by palpation. Paraproctitis is characterized by a tumor of fragments of the rectum and tissues near it.
Most people who have had to undergo paraproctitis, treatment of it, note that the disease proceeds differently depending on the degree of neglect. The danger of the disease is that if you do not take proper measures at the initial stage, then the disease can begin to actively progress. There are cases when everything started with paraproctitis and ended with a malignant tumor.
The formation of an abscess and an increase in pain in the affected area also occurs unequally in each of the patients. And the rehabilitation period is often harder than the operation, because discomfort accompanies defecation for a long time, and the site of the lesion is difficult to independently examine. Surgeons of the proctology department claim that paraproctitis diagnosed at the initial stage is completely curable by non-surgical methods. In the case of a running disease, treatment with medicines, baths and lotions will not help.
In medical practice, there are cases when paraproctitis at a late stage leads to the need to remove part of the gastrointestinal tract and a fragment of the rectum. This is due to the fact that over time , the affected area increases, passing to the intestinal organs. If in this case the affected areas are not removed, then in the future, malignant lesions are possible on them. Paraproctitis, its treatment is often reduced to surgery, the essence of which is the opening and removal of the site of purulent lesion. In the process of surgery, muscle relaxation in the pelvic area is important, therefore, full anesthesia is used. The complexity of the operation lies in the accurate detection of the place of suppuration and its complete removal. Paraproctitis, treatment after surgery is quite lengthy, since the lesion site is difficult to heal.
Among the drugs for the treatment and prevention of paraproctitis can be attributed proctosedil, uroproct, etc. With regular use of these funds in the anus, the process of defecation is greatly facilitated, the healing of internal tissues occurs faster, moreover, these ointments have hygienic and anti-inflammatory properties.
In the press and on the Internet you can find high-profile headlines for articles “Paraproctitis: treatment with folk remedies”. This method of treatment is strictly prohibited by doctors, since the drugs used in this case do not have clinical approval and have not been tested in practice. In official medicine, paraproctitis is treated (in addition to medicines) with herbs of pharmacy chamomile and sage, in some cases hot baths also help. Paraproctitis, the treatment after surgery of which has a rather indefinite period, is of acute and chronic form.
Paraproctitis, the treatment of which was carried out only by folk remedies, can pass from an acute form to a chronic one. Chronic paraproctitis is a consequence of untreated acute paraproctitis. When the area of suppuration is not completely removed during the operation, the likelihood of fistula formation and repeated suppuration is high. It is with this that the timing of the full recovery of the patient is associated. It should be noted that paraproctitis, the treatment of which is not always possible with the help of drugs, can lead to undesirable consequences for human health.
