The main causes of perianal cysts usually include improper diet and dry stools. When patients have dietary issues or suffer from constipation leading to difficult bowel movements, infections may easily occur, resulting in perianal cysts or anal fissures. Patients can alleviate symptoms gradually by washing the affected area with traditional Chinese medicine every night, adjusting their diet locally, consuming more high-fiber foods, and drinking a glass of honey water daily to maintain smooth bowel movements.
