From the point of view of modern medicine, proctoptosis can be caused by many diseases, which is a symptom that can not be ignored. The author once met several patients with anal dilatation in clinic, who were diagnosed as advanced rectal cancer by examination.
Usually, the most common cause of anal dilatation is inflammatory diseases, such as anal sinusitis and proctitis. In addition, anorectal diseases such as internal hemorrhoid prolapse, rectal prolapse, external hemorrhoid prolapse, anal nipple hypertrophy, anal papilloma, low rectal polyp, etc. can also have anal distension. Clinically, it is also found that anal dilatation in a few patients is caused by anorectal neurosis and fecal impaction.
It is precisely because patients with anal dilatation may suffer from anorectal cancer. Therefore, as long as there are symptoms of anal dilatation, you should seek medical treatment in time, go to the anorectal department of the hospital for examination, make a clear diagnosis and pay close attention to treatment, so as to avoid the continuous aggravation and deterioration of the condition.
Even inflammatory diseases such as anal sinusitis should be treated in time, otherwise it may develop into more serious diseases, such as anal inflammation, perianal swelling, anal fistula and so on.
However, it must be pointed out that if internal hemorrhoids are treated by injection, ligation and ligation, it is a short-term normal reaction. With the passage of time and the gradual healing of the wound, the anal bulge will eventually disappear naturally.
