Aproctia

Aproctia is the congenital absence of the anus or opening in it. This is a rare congenital condition in which the baby does not have a natural opening to the anus.

Causes

Aproxia is caused by a violation of embryonic development during the period of intrauterine formation of the anus. There is an incomplete fusion of the intestinal tube with the perineum. As a result, the anus does not form or has an impassable opening through which defecation is impossible.

Symptoms

The main symptom of aproctia is the absence of a natural anus. When trying to defecate, the stool does not come out. This leads to bloating, vomiting, and indigestion.

Diagnosis and treatment

The diagnosis is made during examination of the newborn. Treatment consists of surgery - the formation of an artificial anus. The operation is performed in the first days of the child's life to avoid complications. The prognosis is generally favorable with timely treatment.

Aproctia is a rare congenital condition that is characterized by an absent or imperforate anus. This means that the patient does not have an opening in the rectum through which stool exits the body.

The anus is part of the human digestive system and plays an important role in removing waste from the body. With aproctia, feces and other waste can accumulate in a person's body, which can lead to serious health problems.

The reasons for the development of aproctia are not fully understood. However, it is known that this disease may be associated with genetic abnormalities or the impact of adverse factors on the fetus during pregnancy.

Symptoms of aproctia may include difficulty defecating, constipation, bloating, nausea, vomiting and other health problems. If a patient suspects aproctia, it is important to see a doctor as soon as possible to receive diagnosis and treatment.

Treatment for aproctia usually involves surgery to create a new anus or restore function to an imperforate anus. In some cases, additional treatment may be required, such as using a catheter to remove waste from the body.

Although aproctia is a rare condition, it can seriously affect a patient's quality of life. It is important to see a doctor if you suspect aproctia or any other health problems. Early referral to a specialist can help prevent serious complications and maintain health.
