Essay On Rectal Prolapse

Straining frequently while passing stool can bring about piece of the rectum — the end of the large intestine — to project outside the anus (rectal prolapse). At the point where this happens in children, it might be an indication of cystic fibrosis.

The anus is an opening where bowel movements, or stool, leave the body. Imperforate anus is a birth defect in which the anus is missing, blocked, or in the wrong place. Stool normally passes through the large intestine before leaving the body through the anus. When that cannot happen, stool may back up in the large intestine or leave the body through another opening. Most of the time, an imperforate anus can be fixed with surgery.

The name for these erosions is aphthous ulcers. These erosions, after a while, start to deepen and grow in diameter. Once they reach a certain size, they can be referred to as ulcers. These ulcers can cause scarring and they can also cause the bowel to become stiff and lose its elasticity. As Crohn’s worsens, the bowel becomes obstructed once the passageways narrow enough. This obstruction can cause a buildup of food that is still being digested, fluid and gas that comes from the stomach. This obstruction will then prevent all of those products from entering into the colon. This will cause severe abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and even abdominal distention. If the ulcers located in the walls of the bowel become large or extreme enough, holes can form in the walls of the bowel. Once those holes are formed in the bowel, the bacteria normal to the bowel can then pass through those holes and spread to nearby organs and into the abdominal cavity causing what are called fistulas. These fistulas are like a channel/tunnel that is formed between the ulcer and the adjacent organ. Then when a fistula is created between the affected intestine and the bladder, it is called an enteric-vesicular fistula which can lead to UTI’s and feces being presented during urination. Next, when the fistula is formed between the intestine and skin, it is called an enteric-cutaneous fistula. What this fistula, pus and mucous exit the body through a painful opening found in the skin of the

Chronic drainage and discharge, vaginal scarring, puncture of the bladder, bowel and intestines, and recurrent pelvic organ prolapse are also occurring for many women. In some cases, the problems require multiple surgeries to correct, if they can be corrected at all.

The rectum is near the bottom part of the large intestine. The end of the rectum is the anus. I can remember this by tracing the path in the photo.

There was a time I use to consider the colon as a passage for waste products. However, after reading a couple of health related articles, I found that the colon plays many roles in the body, and not just as a passage for waste products. Unfortunately, it is one of the less recognized organs in the body.

Most often this disorder begins in the teen years all the way to the twenties. A straining effort is necessary to expel stools. These stools are not frequent and are hard in nature. The abdomen becomes distended or bloated with movement of

It is also caused by your slowed digestion and the pressure your uterus places on your rectum.

Colon and rectal cancer develop in the digestive tract, which is also called the gastrointestinal, or GI, tract. The digestive system processes food for energy and rids the body of solid waste matter (fecal matter or stool). Colon cancer and rectal cancer have many features in common. Sometimes they are referred to together as colorectal cancer.

When pockets develop in the wall of the colon, this is called diverticulosis. The pockets that form are called diverticula; the pockets pick up fecal matter as the body’s waste is propelled through the colon.

The anus is an opening where bowel movements, or stool, leave the body. Imperforate anus is a birth defect in which the anus is missing, blocked, or in the wrong place. Imperforate anus can usually be corrected with surgery. The goal of surgery is to create a safe way for stool to leave the body.

A protocolectomy is an operation to totally remove the large colon and rectum. Another operation, called a subtotal colectomy, leaves the rectum intact, but removes the entire large colon. And a third type of operation is called a partial colectomy, which does not impact the rectum, but it does remove the inflamed part of the large colon.

• A colostomy if other treatments fail. This involves removing a portion of the bowel. The remaining part is then attached to either the anus, or to a hole in the abdomen (stoma) through which stool leaves the body and is collected in a

The next step for the physician to treat the disease would be surgery. There are different types of surgical procedures like a J-pouch or a colostomy. When dealing with a J-pouch procedure the surgeon removes the large intestine then the small intestine is reattached to the anus, this allows the patient to have normal bowel movements. A colostomy is where the large intestine and the rectum are completely removed, then a stoma is made near the belly button and is outside the body also the anus is closed up. Then the surgeon will attach a bag outside the stoma, this is where bowel movements are redirected to the stoma into the colostomy bag. (Mann,

Symptoms of CRC recurrence include recent alterations in bowel habits, abdomen pain, bleeding per rectum, and perineal pain in rectal cancers (Nurgali & Wildbore, 2015, p.768). Change in bowel habits includes an increase or decrease in frequency of defecation (Thompson et al., 2017, p.1394). Signs and symptoms of CRC recurrence depend on the shape, size and location of the lesion (Nurgali & Wildbore, 2015, p.768). Primary lesion located in the ascending colon will result in John having liquid faeces and experiencing pain in that region (Nurgali & Wildbore, 2015, p.768). Whereas, lesion in the transverse colon would result in semisolid faeces and also pain in that area (Nurgali & Wildbore, 2015, p.768). Lesions in descending colon result in narrow solid faeces due to the tumour growing circumferentially (Nurgali & Wildbore, 2015,
