Proctodeum

"Proctodeum is a term that appears in the medical literature, but not everyone understands what it means. However, this term is very important in the work of a gastroenterologist. Proctodeums are areas of the intestinal mucosa that are benign in origin, but require specialized treatment. These may be ulcerative lesions, bleeding, intestinal dysfunction and other diseases."

Typically, proctitis is used by general practitioners or ordinary medical specialists: therapists. Many patients prefer to see specialists, relying on them for diagnosis and treatment. There are different types of proctodynamites: - in shape they can be in the form of a polyp, ulcer, erosion or crack; - depending on the cause, infectious and non-infectious are distinguished. The latter occur due to mechanical injuries to the intestines or against the background of other diseases (diabetes, hepatitis, thyroid diseases); - can either cause difficulty in defecation or even lead to its cessation. A gastroenterologist treats proctodium.

Proctodeumfras is spelled procto + lat. daeum to divide, derived from Greek (proktos anus + daio to separate). The main function of the proctode/ephract is to ensure the patency of the large intestine (together with other parts of the large intestine). And he does this not independently (as we do out of ignorance), but in collaboration with bacteria living in the intestines.
