Other Perianal Swellings

Perianal swellings can result from various conditions, including hemorrhoids, perianal abscesses, anal fistulas, skin tags, and cysts. These swellings may cause discomfort, pain, itching, or bleeding. Common causes include chronic constipation, infections, poor hygiene, and inflammatory conditions like Crohn’s disease. Diagnosis involves a physical examination and imaging tests if needed. Treatment depends on the cause and may include dietary changes, medications, drainage procedures, or surgery in severe cases.
