Pain in the rectum can be caused by various reasons. They can be both intense and moderate. At the same time, the factors of occurrence are fundamentally different from each other. In order to determine the diagnosis, as well as to recover, it is necessary to understand exactly what disease has arisen. It is necessary to undergo instrumental and laboratory examinations. Pain in the intestine can be associated with various pathologies, both chronic and acute. Some diseases are accompanied by states of remission and relapses. The latter are characterized by very severe pain. It can be repeated for three months or longer. If relapses occur constantly, then the disease is called chronic.
Reasons
Sometimes pain in the rectum can be associated with injuries, anomalies, or other diseases. Causes include cancer, anorectal inflammation, prolapse, fistulas, fissures, and hemorrhoids. These are the most popular disorders.
Discomfort can also be associated with constipation or diarrhea. Causes can be inflammatory diseases, pelvic injuries, prolongedsitting on the toilet and so on. Sometimes the pain may not be associated with the rectum or inflammation of the anus, but appear due to some other disease.
In order to be cured, it is necessary to choose the right method of treatment. When diagnosing the disease, an objective examination should be carried out, as well as a correct history should be taken. If we talk about pains that are not directly related to the intestine, then we should highlight prostatitis, cyst, perinatal hematoma, and so on.
Anus fissures
Fissures can be acute or chronic. They appear due to constant constipation, proctitis, hemorrhoids and so on. Most often, in a person with these problems, the symptoms are as follows: cutting pain in the rectum, spasms, bleeding, discomfort in the perineum may occur, and so on. They are able to continue not only after the act of defecation, but also for several more hours.
In order to cure such diseases, it is necessary to use special physiotherapy methods, warm baths, microclysters, laxatives, suppositories, antispasmodics, and so on. If we are talking about a chronic process, then if conservative treatment does not help, you will have to use surgical intervention, which allows you to exclude the development of oncology.
Hemorrhoids
As mentioned above, sometimes the cause of pain in the rectum can be hemorrhoids. Most often, this pathology occurs in men aged 30 to 50 years. Accompanied by varicose veins.
Hemorrhoids can beginbleeding, itching, as well as unpleasant sensations of a foreign body. After other complications such as thrombosis, cracks, or so on, join this disease, a person begins to experience severe discomfort.
In order to be treated, it is necessary to use a diet, normalize stools, carry out hygiene procedures, resort to ointments or suppositories ("Relief", "Anestezol", "Ultraproct"), and also use agents that tone the veins.
If the pain is unbearable, painkillers or anesthetics are prescribed. They can be either local or systemic. At the moment, an effective minimally invasive intervention is successful, which solves the problem with the formation of hemorrhoids. In this case, the operation is not required.
Paraproctitis
This disease affects pararectal tissue. Most often, men from 30 to 50 years old suffer from this disease. This happens due to the fact that microorganisms penetrate into the fiber and the perianal glands become inflamed. The provoking factor is also anal fissures, microtrauma, various ulcerations, and so on. Less commonly, damage is considered the cause of paraproctitis.
This disease can be secondary. Often it is caused by urethritis, prostatitis and so on. Paraproctitis has an acute course. Symptoms should be noted intoxication of the body, pain, which often pulsate, increasing on palpation, and so on.
If the patient is not treated, then he constantly developsfistulas. Accordingly, the disease becomes chronic. Acute disease is treated only with the help of surgery. If we are talking about a permanent form, then choose conservative therapy. However, as a result, in order to avoid recurrences, most likely, the doctor will advise an operation.
Rectal cancer
This disease develops against the background of polyps, chronic paraproctitis and so on. In the local stage, pain can occur due to inflammation and anal fissures. When a patient develops a tumor, it spreads to surrounding tissues. This is what causes pain in him. Most often they are permanent and unrelenting. Localized in the lower abdomen, lower back or coccyx.
Treatment is carried out with the help of chemotherapy, and surgical intervention is also mandatory. If we are talking about the late stages of the disease, then, most likely, radical therapy will not be prescribed, since it is dangerous to he alth. In this case, only analgesics are used to reduce pain.
Anorectal pain of a functional nature
This disease is considered a chronic pathology. This diagnosis is assigned if a person does not have inflammation, ischemia, or cracks. In such a situation, the doctor wonders why the pain in the rectum appeared. After diagnosis, a diagnosis associated with the anorectal form is often made.
A similar problem affects people who are strenuously engaged in physical exercises or are in constantemotional stress. At risk are people aged about 40-45 years.
There are several forms of this disorder:
- If we are talking about non-specific, then the patient will experience discomfort during prolonged sitting. They are leveled after taking a horizontal position. They can have a burning character, give to the stomach, and so on. Often this disease leads to depression and insomnia.
- The second form is the syndrome of the muscle that lifts the anus. A person feels this pain, pressure and so on. Unpleasant sensations may occur if the patient sits for a long time. They last no more than half an hour. This pathology is quite popular, and mostly only women suffer from it.
- Another form of this disease is characterized by the fact that it passes from one species to another. It is manifested by the fact that there is a pulling pain in the rectum. This syndrome can affect both women and men equally. To cure the pathology, it is necessary to carry out physiotherapeutic procedures, to do a special massage. Microclysters, Novocaine and other sedatives are also especially helpful.
Psychosomatics
At the moment, doctors pay great attention to the psychosomatics of various diseases. The fact is that often sharp pains in the rectum can occur not only due to pathologies, but also with negative attitudes and constant fear. At the moment, there are several explanations for this phenomenon from a medical point of view. For example, if a personstingy, afraid of losing everything he has, strongly attached to things, then he may have similar problems. Even conservatism, fear of change, and so on can lead to this. Strong fear, tension, psychological pressure can also provoke pain in the rectal area. If a person is constrained, constantly closed in himself, then he can develop hemorrhoids. When people suffer from such a pathology, it often turns out that they work in an unloved field and are dissatisfied with their results. Such patients do not like criticism from the outside. If a person develops cancer, then most likely he hates himself or is very offended by life.
Pregnancy pain
Very often during pregnancy there is discomfort or discomfort in this area. This may be due to disorders in the body that are dangerous not only for the woman, but also for the child. If left untreated, they can cause other problems.
If we are talking about less serious factors, then they can be a low level of activity, as well as sitting on a hard surface. However, one should not think that there is no problem in such situations. Most often, pain in the rectum in women is caused by pathologies that are hidden. Discomfort and burning may occur. Often a bad diet leads to this problem. Therefore, it should be adjusted.
Sometimes during pregnancy, pain radiates to the rectum. This indicates problems with appendicitis. Women often develop pathologies due to constipation, diarrhea or hemorrhoids.
