You can fully understand the following content to see what causes it.

Experts point out that many patients think that anal swelling and pain are caused by perianal abscess, and often take random medicines for treatment, but the disease never heals. Clinically, there are many anorectal diseases that can cause anal swelling and pain.

1. Perianal abscess Perianal abscess 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. There are three main symptoms of perianal abscess:

1. Hard lump: In the early stage, a hard lump will appear around the anus and gradually increase in size. Some of them may rupture on their own after a long time.

2. Pain: Pain is the most common symptom of perianal abscess, which is a persistent swelling or throbbing pain that gradually worsens. The patient has difficulty walking and is limited in sitting.

3. Fever: Patients with perianal abscess will have local redness and swelling accompanied by fever, which is usually low-grade fever but sometimes high-grade fever. The patient's body temperature may be between 37-40°C. In addition, patients may also experience general fatigue, loss of appetite, poor sleep, etc.

2. Inflammatory external hemorrhoids

Inflammatory external hemorrhoids are mainly caused by inflammation and edema of external hemorrhoids. There are many causes, the most common of which are catching a cold, being tired, going out, drinking, etc. I feel as if my anus is prolapsed, and there is pain, swelling and discomfort.

3. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids This is because factors such as straining during defecation and coughing increase abdominal pressure, which causes the small veins under the skin around the anus to rupture, causing subcutaneous bleeding and blood clots, causing pain and discomfort. The larger the blood clot, the more painful it is. A bluish skin bump can be seen on the surface.

If the anus is swollen and painful and there is blood in the stool, then consider the possibility of internal hemorrhoids. The general symptoms of internal hemorrhoids in the early stage are prolapse of the tumor, blood in the stool, and no pain, but the tumor (also known as the bag by patients) can shrink back on its own. In the later stage, the tumor usually cannot shrink back on its own and needs to be pushed back by hand, and later it cannot be pushed back even by hand. In addition to hemorrhoids, other anorectal diseases can also cause swelling and pain in the anus, such as: anal sinusitis, polyps, hypertrophy of anal papillae and perianal abscesses can all cause the "swelling and pain at the anal opening" mentioned by the patient above.
