What causes anal blisters and how to deal with them

Blisters in the anus may be caused by hemorrhoids. Inflammation of external hemorrhoids can lead to the appearance of blisters. Generally, in such cases, you should not treat it yourself. You can go to the anorectal department for a detailed examination before receiving treatment. Blindly conducting treatment will not help the condition.

It is best to go to the hospital's anorectal department for further examination and better treatment after diagnosis. Pay attention to rest, proper nutrition, avoid cold, fatigue, and avoid spicy food, tobacco, alcohol and other irritating foods. The first step in treating hemorrhoids is to keep the bowels open and eat easily digestible food with less residue. The diet should be a combination of coarse and fine foods, drink less strong tea, coffee, alcohol and eat less spicy food to reduce irritation to the anal canal. Take a warm water sitz bath after defecation and apply hemorrhoid suppository or hemorrhoid ointment topically. Depending on the condition, injection therapy, cryotherapy and physical therapy can be used. Severe cases can be treated with surgery, including ligation, rubber band ligation, hemorrhoidectomy, etc.

1. Inflammatory external hemorrhoids: Inflammatory external hemorrhoids are mainly caused by inflammation and edema of external hemorrhoids. There are many causes. The anus seems to be prolapsed, and there is pain, swelling and discomfort.

2. Internal hemorrhoids: In the middle stage of internal hemorrhoids, hemorrhoids may prolapse during bowel movements. In mild cases, they can be pushed back into the anus by themselves after defecation, while in severe cases, they need to be pushed back in by hand. Prolapsed internal hemorrhoids usually have some soft lumps around the anus.

3. Perianal abscess: This is a common anorectal disease, which refers to an acute or chronic suppurative infection occurring in the soft tissue around the anorectum or in the surrounding space, and the formation of an abscess.

4. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids: This is due to factors such as straining during defecation and coughing that increase abdominal pressure, causing the small veins under the skin around the anus to rupture, resulting in subcutaneous bleeding and the formation of blood clots, causing pain and discomfort. The larger the blood clot, the greater the pain. A bluish skin bulge can be seen on the outside.
