Anorectal: what is it?

Anorectal is a term used in medicine to describe conditions associated with the anus (anus) and rectum. These diseases can be very diverse and include both functional disorders and structural changes.

Functional disorders of the anorectal region may include bowel problems such as constipation, diarrhea, inability to control bowel movements, and a feeling of incomplete bowel movement. Pain in the anorectal area may also occur, which may be caused by cramping or inflammation.

Structural changes in the anorectal area may include anal fissures, hemorrhoids, polyps, tumors and other formations. Anal fissures are small tears in the lining of the anus that can cause pain during bowel movements. Hemorrhoids are enlarged veins in the rectum and anus that can cause bleeding, itching and pain.

To diagnose and treat anorectal diseases, you may need to consult a specialist - a coloproctologist. He will examine the anorectal area and may prescribe additional tests, such as rectoscopy, colonoscopy or magnetic resonance imaging.

Treatment of anorectal diseases depends on their type and severity. In the treatment of functional disorders, diet, exercises for the pelvic floor muscles, and medications can be used. Structural changes may require surgery.

In conclusion, anorectal is a term that describes diseases associated with the anus and rectum. These diseases can be very diverse and require serious attention from specialists for their diagnosis and treatment. It is important to seek help at the first symptoms to prevent possible complications.

Anorectal syndrome (ARS) is a combination of pain in the anus with persistent constipation. The disease occurs quite often, but it is not always possible to make the correct diagnosis in a timely manner. Often, painful manifestations and pain in the anus area hide a serious pathology of the gastrointestinal tract. ASR occurs in both women and men. In adulthood, the disorder may occur after acute or chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The disease also develops in children, and is detected at an early age. The main factors provoking the development of the disease are: - Genetic predisposition; - Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the colon (nonspecific ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and others); - Diverticula of the rectum and sigmoid colon; - Spastic colitis;
