Symptoms of disease - pain in the anus

The digestive tract ends rectum, and undigested remnants of food in the form of feces erupt from the outside. The structure of the rectum is ideally suited to the act of defecation.

In the circle of the output of the division of the rectum, annularly covering the anus (anal) hole, is muscle-pulp (sphincter). During the act of defecation sphincter opens, in parallel with the tension of the muscle membrane wall of the rectum. Arising under this force pushes stercorous ball out. To facilitate the sliding of dense mud on the mucous membrane of the rectum there are folds, and one of them is located spiral that makes 1,5 turnover.
Thus, the stool by the act of defecation as a "come unscrewed" from the colon.
The mucous membrane of the rectum rich glands that produce thick, sticky mucus that is a "lubricant" for kala and protecting the wall of the intestine from injury.

In submucosal layer of the rectum are located venous plexus - hemorrhoidal veins. The outflow of blood on them is carried out directly in the overall flow (inferior vena cava), bypassing the liver. This property of the venous system of the rectum has long been used in medicine: medicinal products, introduced in the form of candles in the rectum, do not linger in the liver, operate faster and more efficiently.

The anus (back passage) is the area from which men usually do not wait for problems, and about their appearance are very reluctant to tell the doctor, having before it a lot of time on futile attempts of self-medication. For their happiness, the most frightening anal symptoms usually accompany small treatable disorders.
