Paraproctitis is a very serious disease that brings enough discomfort and painful sensations. In addition, such a disease can lead to a large number of consequences. To date, several groups of complications of paraproctitis are subdivided, which depend on the cause. What is dangerous for this type of intestinal disease? And how is rehabilitation after surgery performed?
Acute or chronic course of the disease is characterized by an increase in body temperature, painful sensations in the cavity of the rectum with varying intensity, predominantly sharp and strong. Therefore, in a large number of cases the patient prefers to immediately consult a specialist. Otherwise, the effects of paraproctitis are irreversible. What is dangerous for this type of disease, can be described as follows:
- Spontaneous eruption of the abscess. In the event that the abscess ruptures the skin, this is the most favorable outcome, and there will be no complications. In this case, the paraproctitis can pass by itself, but this is a very rare phenomenon, in addition, there will remain a primary inflammatory focus and a course for the exit of pus. In other cases, such an abscess can break through the adjacent cell space in the cavity of the rectum or vagina. In this case, putrefactive discharge will begin to enter these organs, because of what their infection begins. In addition, fistula will be formed between the pararectal tissue and the corresponding organ, and the elimination of such a paraproctitis effect is rather complicated.
- The spread of the inflammatory process to neighboring organs will begin, that is, putrefactive process will begin to pass to the cells of other organs. This consequence of paraproctitis is an irreversible process and can lead to the patient becoming disabled. Inflammatory processes have properties to spread to the uterine cavity, the vagina, the prostate, the rectum, as well as the ureters and urethra, which causes complications in the form of organ infection. In such a case, the beginning of the formation of irreversible deformation processes as the consequences, where in the neglected case the treatment will be possible only through surgical intervention to remove them.
Complications of paraproctitis after surgery
What is the danger of paraproctitis if an incorrect surgical procedure was performed? Even if the treatment was started in a timely manner, it is likely that complications of paraproctitis will occur after surgical intervention. In general, if the correct approach to treatment has been implemented: not only the abscess itself and the purulent stroke, but also the affected anal cricle and anal glands, the disease will not be accompanied by any complications. However, there are some cases where paraproctitis causes such complications as:
- Severe course of concomitant diseases.
- Long-term treatment of the disease.
- Severe course of intoxication.
If the operation is not performed in full, for some reason, that is, only the abscess will be opened and cleaned, but there is no removal of crypts and glands in which infection spread, the inflammatory focus will remainin the body, which will lead to such complications of paraproctitis, as:
- Relapse of acute course of the disease.
- Development of chronic course of the disease.
- Increased symptomatology.
- Strengthening of inflammatory processes, the prevalence of the fistula and the presence of putrefactive cavities and swells.
Rehabilitation after paraproctitis
The recovery period after the illness will last for about a month, in case of correct execution of all medical prescriptions. The main task of the patient is to prevent the occurrence of repeated foci of inflammation and complications. This requires very strictly follow the doctor's instructions and carry out preventive measures.
Rehabilitation after paraproctitis surgery also includes the appointment of drug treatment and diet compliance. With the reception of antibiotics, the opinions of specialists vary. Some doctors suggest that they can not prevent the development of complications and do not do any good for the body. But enemas will need to be used exactly. In practical terms, there are two types of ways to prevent complications. The first include cleansing enemas, which should be conducted for about three weeks. The second must contain the administration of a drug solution. In order not to have complications after paraproctitis, it will not be superfluous to use ointments that have healing properties, as well as to conduct specialized baths several times a day.
