Anal stenosis, also known as anorectal stricture, is a rare but disabling condition that causes the anal canal to narrow. This anal canal narrowing may be caused by a muscular and functional stenosis or a true anatomic stricture, and it is characterized by a tight band of scar tissue that restricts the anal opening and makes it difficult to pass stool comfortably.
SYMPTOMS OF ANORECTAL STRICTURE/ANAL STENOSIS
- gastrointestinal discomfort or pain.
- a tight or small feeling in the anal opening that makes it difficult to pass stool.
- The patient frequently discloses a past that includes laxative abuse, radiation to the pelvic region, or anorectal surgery.
- He might talk about feeling as though his bowel evacuation was incomplete and exerting too much effort to urinate.
- Pruritus, bleeding, and pain are additional clinical signs.
CAUSES OF ANORECTAL STRICTURE/ANAL STENOSIS
- Sepsis, ischemia (lack of blood flow) brought on by a blocked upper rectal or lower mesenteric artery
- AIDS
- Venereal lymphogranuloma
- Gonorrhea
- Amoebiasis
- Anal stenosis could result from a congenital anorectal condition.
- Rectal trauma
- Ergotamine tartrate abuse may occasionally result in anorectal stricture when used frequently to treat migraine attacks.
- Radiation-related factors include the promotion of anal stenosis formation during radiotherapy for pelvic tumors such as uterine and prostatic carcinoma.
- complications from surgery, such as hemorrhoids
- Lymphogranuloma venereum and other infectious diseases
- Anal fistula
- Anal carcinoma is a type of neoplastic disease.
- Autoimmune disorder
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Tuberculosis
the nerves’ damage or aging
HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF ANORECTAL STRICTURE/ANAL STENOSIS
THIOSINAMINUM :useful in cases of scar tissue-covered anorectal stricture.
ALUMINA :Useful for anorectal stricture, which is characterized by cutting pain in the anus, hard or soft stool that passes only with great effort, bleeding from the anus that occurs after stoma passage, itching and burning at the anus, and hard or soft stool that passes only after great effort.
