What are the dangers of anal inflammation

Proctitis is a relatively common anorectal disease. Symptoms often include itching and pain around the anus, which can cause increased secretions. In severe cases, it can lead to skin erosion, ulcers, and skin eczema. The disease is characterized by nodular ulcers, and severe cases can also form fistulas, which can easily lead to secondary bacterial infections, thereby inducing anemia in patients and causing anal dysfunction.

First, it can easily cause anemia:

The normal hemoglobin level for men is 120-160 g/L; for women it is 110-150 g/L; for children it is 130-150 g/L. If a man's hemoglobin is less than 120 g/L, or a woman's hemoglobin is less than 110 g/L, it means they are anemic. Patients with hemorrhoidal fistulas whose main symptom is blood in stool often develop anemia. If they do not receive timely treatment, as the amount of blood loss increases, they will become pale, weak, dizzy, weak, have memory loss, and even have blurred vision and tinnitus. Suddenly standing up after sitting or squatting for a long time may lead to collapse or fainting. In severe cases, there is a decrease in appetite, abdominal distension and lower abdominal edema.

Second, it can easily cause skin eczema:

Due to the prolapse of hemorrhoids and relaxation of the sphincter, mucus flows out of the anus and irritates the surrounding skin, which can easily lead to itching and skin eczema.

Third, it can easily lead to anal dysfunction:

Due to anal infection, anal nodules, anal sinusitis, anal fissures, anal fistulas, anal abscesses, hemorrhoids, etc., repeated attacks and long-term untreated will lead to anal contracture and difficulty in defecation on the one hand; on the other hand, it will invade the sphincter and easily cause anal incontinence.

Fourth, prone to sepsis

Toxemia, sepsis, anal abscess, anal infection. Once fissures, hemorrhoids, etc. cause bleeding, bacteria, toxins, and pus clots can easily invade the blood and cause sepsis, toxemia, and sepsis.

Fifth, it is easy to cause autonomic nervous system disorders

It can cause symptoms of neurasthenia. Because the anal nerve is closely connected with the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve and sciatic nerve, anal diseases can cause pain in the waist, sacrum, and posterior thigh, and can also cause disorders of the reflex skills of the urinary and reproductive system.

Sixth, it is easy to cause gynecological diseases:

Because the anus and vagina are close to each other, hemorrhoid bleeding or inflammation often leads to the proliferation of bacteria, which enter the vagina directly and cause gynecological inflammation.

Seventh, it can easily induce rectal cancer:

If hemorrhoids are not treated promptly, the condition will continue to worsen, causing changes in the cell genes in the affected area and leading to rectal cancer.

Eighth, it can easily lead to decreased sexual function:

Patients with hemorrhoids and fistulas often have decreased sensitivity to sexual excitement, and discomfort such as pain and dizziness cause a decrease in sexual desire, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation, and spermatorrhea.
