Mr. V.V.T (Ca Mau) only discovered anorectal leak when his illness had worsened. "At first, every time I went to the bridge, I thought it was constipation or boils, so I didn't go to the doctor. It was only when I was in a lot of pain and had a rash that I went to the hospital, and the doctor diagnosed me with an anorectal leak due to an infection, said Mr. T.
Similarly, Mr. H.X.B (HCMC) has been silently suffering from this disease for more than 10 years. He said: "Every time I walk or sit, it's very uncomfortable. After being consulted by the doctor, I decided to have surgery again. Just two days after the surgery, I felt relieved and things were much better."
According to doctors, late detection makes treatment of anorectal leak more complicated and more likely to recur. Due to symptoms or rashes that are easily mistaken for hemorrhoids, many people are subjective and do not see a doctor on time.
Associate Professor, Dr. Duong Van Hai - Head of the Department of Paramedic - Rectal, Binh Dan Hospital, Ho Chi Minh City warned: "Ear detection helps patients avoid prolonged pain, prevent recurrence and limit complications. Many cases due to subjectivity or delayed treatment have made the disease worse."
Currently, the treatment of anorectal leak with laser is considered an effective solution, especially for complicated cases or multiple relapses. Unlike traditional open surgery, laser endoscopy is less invasive and limits damage to the anorectal muscles. This method helps fiber the leachate into a leachate pipe, supporting faster recovery. After surgery, the patient needs to have a regular check-up every 2 weeks and soak the anus regularly to remove the infection.
