A member asked:
Can a perianal abscess cause diarrhea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A perianal abscess is an infected area adjacent to external anal canal. Other than pain, it can not influence function of the intestinal. Diarrhea is due to excess fluid in the colon secondary to failure to adsorb excess fluid which produces normal stool. Abnormal bacteria in colon, toxic food causing increased peristalsis food allergy , drug sensitivity can all cause diarrhea.
