What are the dangers of anal shedding

A normal person's anus should be on the inside and connected to the rectum, but due to pathological reasons, it may cause anal prolapse. Anal prolapse is when the anus protrudes out of the body, like a protrusion on the outside of the body. It may cause infection due to friction during walking and form a fungal disease. Therefore, anal prolapse is very harmful. You must do a good job of prevention in normal times, exercise actively, and undergo surgery when necessary.

harm

① Blood in stool: If the stool is too dry during defecation, it will scratch the inner membrane of the anus and cause blood in stool. The amount of blood in stool is usually small and can often be seen on toilet paper after defecation.

② Prolapse outside the anus: Prolapse of the tumor is the main manifestation of rectal prolapse. During bowel movements, the swelling will protrude from the anus and then retract on its own. But after a long time, the patient needs to put it back with his hands. If left untreated for a long time, slight movements such as walking and coughing will cause the tumor to protrude out of the anus, making it difficult to return to its original position.

③ Moisture in the anus: Frequent rectal prolapse will cause the anal sphincter to contract excessively and be unable to close, causing mucus to flow out of the anus, resulting in moisture in the anus.

④ Itching: If the tumor is exposed outside the anus for a long time, it is easy to be infected, causing edema, ulceration, pus discharge, irritation to the skin around the anus, and itching.

⑤ Swelling: Rectal prolapse can cause the rectal lining to fall off, compressing the anal lining wall, preventing venous blood from circulating normally, leading to swelling and falling, and causing the anal sphincter to contract weakly and directly necrotize. [1]

prevention

The occurrence of anal prolapse is related to many factors. We need to pay attention to the following when preventing it:

1) Actively participate in sports activities and anal function exercises to enhance physical fitness, improve anal function, and increase the contraction force of the anal sphincter.

2) Timely treatment of diseases that may cause anal prolapse, such as internal hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, etc.

3) Eat more vegetables and fruits, and less spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, alcohol, etc. Keep bowel movements regular.

4) Keep the anus clean and hygienic. Wipe the anus with soft paper after defecation. It is best to wash the anus with warm water before going to bed. This will keep the anus clean and hygienic and promote blood circulation in the anus.

5) Develop good bowel habits. Do not read books or newspapers or strain when defecating.
