Main Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse

Rectal prolapse happens when the last part of the rectum slides out of the anus. It can pop out only during bowel movements or stay outside all the time, and the signs are hard to miss. Bulging tissue is the headline. You feel or see a red, moist ring of bowel coming out after you strain or have a bowel movement. Urgency and incomplete emptying are common. You feel the need to go again right after finishing, but nothing more comes out. Mucus and bleeding show up. The protruding tissue leaks clear slime and may spot bright-red blood on the...

Main Symptoms of Anorectal Disorders

Anorectal disorders cover everything from hemorrhoids to abscesses. They all live at the tail end of the gut, so symptoms show up in the bathroom and in your underwear. Pain is the loudest caller. It can be a sharp knife during stool (fissure), a deep throb all day (abscess), or a dull ache after sitting too long (hemorrhoids). Bleeding is common. Bright-red spots on the paper or in the bowl usually mean something close to the surface—typically hemorrhoids or a tear. Itching and wetness happen when mucus or pus leaks. You scratch without thinking and still feel “not clean.” Lumps... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Congenital Anorectal Disorders

Congenital anorectal disorders are birth defects in which the rectum or anus does not form normally. Symptoms are spotted in the delivery room or within the first day of life. Missing anal opening is the obvious clue. The bottom is flat or the hole is absent, and a thermometer or finger cannot enter. Meconium leaks from the wrong place. The first stool exits through a tiny opening near the scrotum, vagina, or perineum instead of the anus. Swollen belly appears fast. The abdomen puffs and feels tight as stool backs up. No gas or stool is passed. The baby does... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Rectal Injury

Rectal damage can happen during trauma, medical procedures, or rough sex. Because the lining is thin and full of nerves, symptoms show up fast and are hard to ignore. Sharp pain is the headline. It feels like a knife or deep burn during and after the bowel movement, and can throb for hours. Bright-red bleeding is common. Blood drips into the bowl or shows on the paper, usually fresh and separate from the stool. Urgency and spasms follow. You feel a constant need to go, yet only a small amount comes out each time. Swelling and bruising appear. The anus... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Rectal Polyps

Rectal polyps are small, fleshy growths inside the last part of the bowel. Most are harmless, but they can bleed or cause changes you can see. Painless bleeding is the classic sign. Bright-red blood drips into the bowl or shows on the toilet paper after you wipe. Mucus coating is common. Stool looks shiny or slimy, as though it’s been wrapped in clear jelly. Bowel habit changes. You may feel the urge to go again right after finishing, or have looser stools than usual. Itching or leakage occurs. The polyp leaks mucus, irritating the skin around the anus and making...
