Feeling of a foreign body in the anus

The anus is the excretion channel of the human body. We need to excrete every day. If we don’t excrete, it means that there is a problem in a certain part of our body, such as the digestive function of the intestines. Sometimes we feel uncomfortable during excretion. After it happens more often, we will feel a foreign body in the anus. So why do we feel a foreign body in the anus? Let’s take a look with the editor below.

Anal foreign body sensation refers to swallowed foreign objects including catheters, chicken bones and fish bones. In addition, gallstones or fecal stones may remain at the anorectal junction. Hemorrhoids, urinary stones, vaginal rings, or surgical sponges or instruments may erode into the rectum. Certain foreign objects, either bizarre or related to sexual performances, are artificially inserted and become incarcerated unconsciously. Some substances become embedded in the rectal wall, and some foreign bodies become embedded in the anal sphincter, causing a tingling sensation in the anus.

1. Causes anemia: Bleeding during or after defecation, the color is bright red, sometimes there is a small amount of blood on the surface of the stool, or the toilet paper is stained red, sometimes there is dripping blood or spurting blood. Varicose veins may rupture due to feces abrading the mucosa or excessive force during defecation, which increases the pressure in the blood vessels. Long-term and repeated bleeding, or multiple heavy bleeding, can also cause anemia.

2. Anal pain: Simple internal hemorrhoids are generally painless, and sometimes only cause a feeling of heaviness in the anus or difficulty in defecation. If the prolapse is not repositioned in time, the pain will worsen; if incarceration occurs, ulceration and necrosis occur, causing inflammation and edema of the anal margin, the pain will be severe.

3. Prolapse of hemorrhoids: As the volume of hemorrhoids increases, they are squeezed by feces during defecation, causing them to gradually separate from the muscle layer and prolapse out of the anus. Sometimes 1-2 hemorrhoids prolapse at the same time, and sometimes all hemorrhoids and rectal mucosa prolapse together. At first, it can be reset by itself after defecation. For those with more severe symptoms, it needs to be pushed back by hand or rest in bed before it can be reset. For those with more serious symptoms, in addition to prolapse during defecation, it may also be prolapsed by any exertion, walking, coughing, sneezing, squatting, etc.

4. Mucus outflow: The rectal mucosa is stimulated by hemorrhoids for a long time, causing increased secretions. In the late stage of internal hemorrhoids, secretions often flow out of the anus due to the relaxation of the anal sphincter. In mild cases, the secretions will flow out during bowel movements, and in severe cases, the secretions will flow out naturally even when there is no bowel movement, contaminating the underwear and causing great inconvenience to the patient. Moreover, when internal hemorrhoids prolapse, the secretions will be even greater.

5. Anal itching: Due to the stimulation of secretions or prolapsed hemorrhoids, the area around the anus becomes damp and unclean, causing eczema and itching. The itching is sometimes caused by the reflex action of prolapsed internal hemorrhoids.
