Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a wide spectrum of chronic inflammatory conditions that involve the digestive system, there are two main types. Ulcerative colitis which mainly involved a large bowel (Colon and Rectum). Crohn’s disease: This affects any part of the digestive system. Both diseases are usually presented with severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, weight loss, and many other symptoms.
To confirm the diagnosis of IBD your doctor will request a blood test, procedures such as colonoscopy, and images such as CT scan. Treatment of IBD depends on the severity of the disease, most of the time treatment will be provided by your gastroenterologist in the form of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, or immune-suppressive drugs. Surgeons get involved either to treat complications or if medical treatment fails to control the disease.
Pelvic Floor Disorders
The pelvic floor consists of a group of muscles that provide support to pelvic organs (bladder, rectum, and uterus or prostate). Contracting and relaxing these muscles allows you to control your bowel movements, urination, and, for women particularly, sexual intercourse.
Hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in your anus and lower rectum, similar to varicose veins. Hemorrhoids can develop inside the rectum (internal hemorrhoids) or under the skin around the anus (external hemorrhoids).
Most of the time patients complain of Itching or irritation in the anal region, pain or discomfort, swelling around the anus, or bleeding.
Modifying lifestyle measures can prevent and improve an existing disease, such as eating a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding strain and long periods of sitting.
Treatment includes the above measures as well as the use of local topical treatments. Soak regularly in a warm bath or sitz bath. Take oral pain relievers.
If symptoms are persistent such as bleeding or pain, your doctor might recommend colorectal surgery. These procedures can be done in the office (Rubber banding) or in an outpatient setting under anesthesia (Hemorrhoidectomy).
Anal Fistula
A small tunnel under the skin communicates the rectum with the outside, it usually develops after infection in the perianal area. There are many types of fistula based on how much sphincter muscle is involved. For example, the superficial fistula does not involve any sphincter muscle and it is a simpler form and easier to take care of. However, trans-sphincteric fistula involves both internal and external sphincter muscles and therefore, it is the most complex form of fistula and has a high recurrence rate.
Anal fistula requires surgery to cure it. There are many types of surgeries depending on which type of fistula you have.
