K61.0: Anal abscess

The last segment of the large intestine consists of 2 sections. These 2 sections are the rectum and anal canal. The feces are collected in the rectum. The feces then move through the short anal canal to the anus. Feces are excreted through the anus.

This cavity has developed because of an inflammation. In your case, the cavity is around the anal canal or directly below the skin around the anus.

Your skin at this site is probably red and swollen. As a result of the cavity, you may have pain in your lower abdomen and bottom. The pain may occur in particular when you are sitting. You may feel feeble. It is also possible that you will have a high temperature and shivering.
