Common anorectal diseases

Anorectal diseases are a very common type of disease. Anal fissure, the most common disease in medicine, is one of the most common anorectal diseases. Anal fissures can cause patients pain, blood in the stool, constipation and other related symptoms. Therefore, the treatment of anorectal diseases such as anal fissures has become a matter of concern to many people. So, what are the most common diseases in anorectal diseases?

Generally speaking, for patients with anorectal diseases, if they can master enough knowledge about anorectal diseases in normal times and carry out timely prevention and treatment in the initial stage of the symptoms, they can cure the corresponding anorectal diseases early. So, what are the clinical manifestations of anal fissure patients?

1. Pain: When the patient defecates, the nerve endings in the anal fissure are stimulated, causing burning or knife-like pain in the anal canal. The painful stimulation causes the internal anal sphincter to contract and cause persistent pain. As time goes by, the anal sphincter relaxes, the pain is relieved and gradually disappears. If the patient defecates again, the pain will reappear, forming recurrent pain. This phenomenon is called anal fissure periodic pain. It is common in clinical practice that patients are afraid of defecation due to fear of pain, which leads to a vicious cycle of fear of pain - holding back defecation - dry stool - more pain.

2. Blood in the stool: Blood in the stool is a common symptom of anal fissure. It may occur or not. The amount of bleeding is usually small. The blood is often attached to one side of the surface of the stool in the form of strips of blood, appears at the end of the stool, or only stains toilet paper red. It is often accompanied by mucus, but it is not mixed with the stool. Sometimes, bleeding may reach several milliliters. This is mainly caused by damage to the venous plexus at the bottom of the ulcer.

3. Constipation: Constipation is one of the risk factors for anal fissure. Because constipation often stimulates the intestinal wall and causes colon spasm, a large amount of water in the stool is absorbed. If you do not defecate for a day, 60% to 70% of the water in the stool will be absorbed, resulting in the stool being hard at the beginning and then soft and granular. Therefore, most patients with anal fissures have a history of constipation to varying degrees. Because the stool is dry and hard, the variability of the stool is reduced, and the skin of the anal canal is easily damaged. After anal fissures are formed, they are afraid of defecation due to pain, which causes fear constipation. In order to reduce the number of pain, they are unwilling to defecate regularly, which makes the stool more dry and hard, and the pain more severe, forming a vicious circle.

The above is an introduction specifically to the symptoms of anal fissure, a common anorectal disease. I believe that patients with anal fissure already have a certain understanding of the clinical manifestations of anal fissure symptoms. I hope everyone will pay more attention to some abnormal symptoms that appear in their daily lives. If the symptoms are similar to those of anal fissure, you must seek medical treatment in time.
