What causes pain in the rectum?

The attack of acute pain is always unexpected, but in almost all cases it has a long prehistory. The prerequisites for the disease are always there and they become more clear with time. So sudden pain in the rectum is actually not so sudden, but implicitly expected.

Most likely, proctitis has long strengthened the position in the body, but persistently "was not seen" by a man because of the intimacy of the issue. Neither with urogenital, nor with proctologic illnesses, people, unfortunately, do not rush to the doctor, which leads them, sometimes, to a tragic ending. Unfortunately, acute pain in the rectum is already the peak of the inflammatory process.

"False" anxiety

Usually the pain in the rectum is directly associated with proctitis - acute inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. In fact, the factors causing this unpleasant symptom are mass. Even without sometimes having a relationship directly to the intestines.

For example, with cystitis - inflammation of the bladder, often pain is given to the rectum, and it is difficult to determine its exact location to the patient. Also, the irradiating type of pain is characteristic of the rectum with inflammation of the adjacent organ - the sigmoid colon. A similar pattern is often observed with prostatitis. This syndrome is rarely seen with appendicitis.

So, if there was a pain in the rectum: treatment is urgent, a colonoscopy immediately, an examination of nearby organs is mandatory, laboratory diagnostics are indispensable. And nothing from this list can not be removed.

Why does it hurt?

Usually a sharp pain in the rectum really becomes a consequence of a proctitis. The mucosa of the rectum is inflamed for a number of reasons. Including hypothermia, and stagnation of blood in the membranes, and a tendency to constipation. Especially it is possible to distinguish bacterial lesions of the intestinal mucosa. For example, gonococci can bring a lot of trouble in this regard. Develops in the literal sense of anal gonorrhea, extremely seriously inflamed rectal mucosa.

Proctitis is often confused with paraproctitis - inflammation of the intestinal tissues. Paraproctitis is very common, but less infectious. More often - it is an inflammation of the lymphoid tissue, which covers the rectum.

For him, more typical are the painful pulling pains in the rectum with numerous false calls for defecation, intestinal dystonia( including imaginary).

Anal pain with spotting

To sound an alarm and immediately call the doctors! Here, sharp aching pains in the rectum with the blood that has appeared can speak of a bleeding hemorrhoidal node. He could be inside, but he could also go outside. Such nodes behave ambiguously. Can be long and very sick, constantly bleeding. And they can arise almost instantly and are accompanied by intensive bleeding - the situation requires medical supervision.

Hemorrhoids - a terrible disease, cunning, desperately "loving" to recede. Long can be latent. Sometimes it does not cause the formation of nodes, flowing first through a bloodless type. Therefore, aching pain in the rectum must necessarily be pushed to the examination for hemorrhoids. Understand its causes can be endless, from injuries with non-standard sex, to a sedentary lifestyle and malnutrition. This is the work of a diagnostician. The result does not change.

Huge chances that the treated hemorrhoids in time will not lead to the operating table. Otherwise, the surgical knife can hardly be avoided.

Caution, crack!

The most frequent proctoid lesion today can be considered an anal fissure. Usually, it occurs against a background of trauma with a strong stretching of the intestine with constipation. It is characterized by a stitching pain in the rectum, which occurs each time during an attempt to defecate.

Later, the anal fissure flows into a chronic form, making each trip to the toilet a true torment. Moreover, neglected fissure of the rectum - this fertile soil and for the development of hemorrhoids, and for deep infection of the intestinal wall. Such a crack can also go out. The paranal crack is a little less dangerous - an external trauma that does not have a pronounced articulation with the cavity of the intestine. Not so much dangerous as an unpleasant thing.

It is difficult to treat due to its location - unhygienic physiological folds. Rapid recourse to qualified care solves the problem of fresh anal fissure completely. Treatment is sometimes no less complicated than with hemorrhoids. Integrated.

Cures severe pain in the rectum fairly successfully and quickly. If it's not about diagnosed cancer or neglected pathology.

Today's technology allows you to perform a colonoscopy quickly and with minimal discomfort. You can not postpone the visit to the proctologist, if there are prerequisites to this. For example, nocturnal pain in the rectum. Only then will the general state of health suffer the least damage. Before visiting a specialist, it is advisable to make a cleansing enema.

It is worth taking an understanding of the situation, if the proctologist will write a referral for consultation to the venereologist also for your sexual partner. Since, against the background of colitis, local atrophies, injuries and other factors, "typically sexual" opportunistic microbes can cause a rapid recurrence of the treated proctitis.
