Perianal Abscess Treatment

An abscess is a painful, pus-filled infection under the skin, often caused by blocked glands or bacterial infection. A perianal abscess occurs near the anus and can lead to swelling, pain, redness, fever, and pus discharge. At Sarthi Care, we offer safe and effective Incision & Drainage (I&D) to relieve pain and promote fast healing.

Incision & Drainage (I&D) is a minor surgical procedure where a small cut is made to drain accumulated pus. It is performed under local anesthesia and typically completed in less than 30 minutes.

  • Most patients go home the same day

  • Full recovery in 5–7 days

  • Daily dressing and hygiene maintenance advised

  • Minimal discomfort post-procedure

  • A visible or palpable lump

  • Quick pain relief

  • Simple, same-day treatment
