Perianal Abscess: Clinical Signs, Associated Risks, and Drainage Procedures

Introduction
A perianal abscess is a pus-filled infection that develops near the anus or rectum. It can occur spontaneously or as a result of blocked anal glands. Immediate medical intervention is essential to prevent complications such as sepsis or the development of a fistula.
