Overview. An anal, or rectal, abscess occurs when a cavity in the anus becomes filled with pus. In addition to extreme pain, the abscess can cause fatigue, rectal discharge, and fever. In some cases, anal abscesses can result in painful anal fistulas.
A perianal abscess is (simply) a collection of pus, outside the anus. Infection of an anal fissure, sexually transmitted infections, and blocked perianal glands are all thought to be inciting factors. The abscess usually begins when bacteria enters through a tear in the lining of the rectum or anus.
