Anal Abscess

Anal Abscess, A sore condition in which a collection of pus forms around the anus is an anal abscess. Infection from small anal glands is the product of most anal abscesses.

For all sorts of anal abscesses, surgical incision and drainage is the most effective procedure and is typically effective. A condition called a fistula will occur in approximately 50 percent of patients with an anal abscess.
