What is the reason for the feeling of anal prolapse?

The anus is a relatively private part for most people because it is the outlet for excretion and the digested food residues in the body are discharged through the anus. The anus can also be subject to some health threats, and people can sense whether the body has symptoms of disease from the state of the anus. Many people will feel a feeling of heaviness in the anus in life, and the desire to defecate is very strong, but when they really want to defecate, they defecate. This is a manifestation of disease and people need to pay more attention to it, otherwise it will cause greater pain. Let’s take a look at the explanation of what is going on with the feeling of heaviness in the anus. I hope everyone can understand it.

Generally speaking, patients with anal prolapse often go to the toilet frequently, but they still feel heavy after defecation, so they are very painful. Some patients with anal swelling may also experience a burning sensation, which is even more uncomfortable. From the perspective of modern medicine, anal prolapse can be caused by a variety of diseases and is a symptom that cannot be ignored. Anorectal specialists encountered several patients with anal swelling in clinical practice, and examination confirmed that they had mid-to-late stage proctitis.

1. Enteritis : When the intestine is inflamed, not only will the frequency of bowel movements increase and abdominal pain occur, but the anus will also be affected, causing anal prolapse and swelling. If enteritis recurs, it will have a certain impact on the patient's normal life.

2. Internal hemorrhoids are incarcerated or edematous: When the mucous membrane around the dentate line expands and swells due to irritation, if it is not treated well, the patient will have a noticeable feeling of anal swelling before it prolapses out of the anus. When internal hemorrhoids are incarcerated, venous return is obstructed to a certain extent, and in addition to the incarceration, the patient will also have a strong feeling of anal prolapse.

3. Perianal abscess: Generally, perianal abscess has an acute onset and is often misdiagnosed. The patient will have obvious anal pain and a feeling of anal swelling. If not treated effectively, perianal abscess may further develop into anal fistula.

4. Rectal cancer: When rectal cancer develops to the late stage, in addition to the common symptoms, the patient will have an obvious feeling of anal swelling due to stimulation from the abscess. Since the symptoms of rectal cancer are generally manifested as bloody stools, irregular bowel movements, etc., early identification of the cause can prevent the trouble caused by misdiagnosis to patients.
