How can prolapse anus be treated? What can help a person with this condition? Can changing your diet help? Can the disease recur? Can antibiotics help? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
How is prolapse anus treated?
Good day. Recently, my 65-year-old mom has started to get serious trouble with bowel movements. Visits to the restroom began to cause her terrible pain. All this is accompanied by itching at the anus and simultaneous problems with keeping your stools, especially at night. Moreover, it has also ceased to control gases. One day, however, I noticed that, along with the stool, my mother began to excrete parts of the anus. In the toilet there were literally fragments of tissue as if torn from the walls of the rectal duct. My question is – can a prolapsed anus (that’s what it’s supposed to be called) be cured?
It is the first time in my life that I encounter such a disease. I don’t know if I should buy any ointment? Can it change Mom’s diet? I would love to help her because I can hear how she is getting tired. Ever since the pain started, Mom says it’s been getting worse. Each subsequent week is more and more painful for her and tiring also mentally. Whether prolapsed anus does it grow back in the same way as, for example, nails and hair? Maybe there are some antibiotics that are given to people suffering from it? Thank you for your answer and best regards. Kamil from Sosnowiec.
The doctor explains what the treatment of an anal prolapse looks like
Rectal prolapse is the displacement of the colon wall outside the rectal canal and anus. This may be the mucosa itself or the entire rectal thickness. Physiologically anal canal it is closed by muscles called anal sphincters. This prevents the stools from escaping unknowingly. Disturbance in the function of the sphincters is the cause of unpleasant ailments. The weakened pelvic floor and perineal muscles are mainly responsible for the presence of this condition. Women get sick much more often than men.
The disease mainly affects people in the 4-7th decade of life, but it can occur in anyone. This condition is sometimes confused with hemorrhoids. Rectal prolapse it usually occurs during activities related to increased pressure inside the abdominal cavity, i.e. when passing stools, pressing on the stool, sneezing, coughing. It also appears spontaneously over time. Accompanying symptoms are bleeding, discharge of mucus, a feeling of urgency on the stool and a feeling of incomplete bowel movements, pain. Additionally, rectal itching is common. Most sufferers suffer from fecal incontinence, often accompanied by constipation. Rectal prolapse may cause inflammation in this location. If the patient experiences rectal prolapse, carefully attempt to drain the bowel.
A lubricant can be used. In the event that we are unable to perform this procedure, you should immediately seek medical help. Differentiation takes into account, inter alia, hemorrhoidal disease, haemorrhoids, anoderm folds. Usually, your doctor will do a rectal exam first. Sometimes imaging or functional tests should be ordered.
Please go to the GP as soon as possible. The doctor, after collecting a complete interview and examining the patient, will decide on further treatment. He will verify the diagnosis, order the necessary tests if necessary and refer you to a specialist, e.g. a gastroenterologist or a proctologist surgeon. The doctor will also choose the appropriate treatment.
