anorectal

Most people experience some form of anorectal disorder during their lifetime.

The effect of age on anorectal function in normal people has been investigated previously.

A person should see a health professional if an anorectal abscess is suspected.

Some believe the anorectal angle is one of the most important contributors to continence.

The following factors increase your risk for an anorectal abscess:

This has bearing on the details and the outcome of anorectal surgical procedures.

Diagnosis of anorectal abscess begins with a medical history and physical exam.

Between 44% and 78% of patients with portal hypertension get anorectal varices.

As a consequence, patients may feel a profound anorectal discomfort and have minor leaking.

Anorectal anaomalies and spinal cord defects may be a cause in children.

In both sexes, the anorectal area should be carefully examined, including biopsy of suspicious areas.

A rectal examination may confirm that you have an anorectal abscess.

Pain in the perianal area is the most common symptom of an anorectal abscess.

It can interfere with postoperative healing of anorectal surgery.

Inspired by the experience, Stelzner wrote the first edition of his standard work on anorectal fistulas.

Anorectal manometry may help to differentiate acquired from congenital forms.

After insertion of the tube, anorectal motility was measured under resting conditions for 20 minutes.

Sixteen healthy volunteers without gastrointestinal or anorectal symptoms (13 women and three men, mean age 43, range 21-72 years) served as a control group.

Data from these two patients are included in the statistical analysis of the diagnostic anorectal manometry, as they were incontinent.

When infection develops, an anorectal abscess can form.

Stelzner also developed the concept of anorectal continence organ.

Most studies on anorectal function have focused so far on solid stool incontinence, which is probably the worse form.

One can find it difficult to discuss a patient's complaint when society's puritanical view of the anorectal and urogenital region is so strong.
