👉 A canal infection, also known as a peritonitis or intra-abdominal abscess, occurs when bacteria enter the abdominal cavity through a breach in the intestinal lining or other openings, such as the gastrointestinal tract. This can happen due to various reasons, including surgical incisions, perforated ulcers, or infections that spread from nearby organs. Once inside, bacteria multiply and release toxins, leading to inflammation and infection of the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity. Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and cloudy or foul-smelling ascites fluid. If left untreated, canal infections can cause significant complications, including sepsis and organ failure, making prompt medical intervention crucial for effective treatment and recovery.
