What causes anal swelling in women?

Anal soreness and swelling in women is a relatively common condition. The main cause of this condition is gynecological diseases and diseases in the anal area, which lead to a feeling of falling and pulling. When this situation occurs, people need to pay special attention. They need to understand the cause in detail and then take effective measures to treat it. Here we will introduce the reasons why women's anal swelling occurs.

1. Malignant tumors of the anal canal and rectum: Anal swelling often occurs in the middle or late stages of the disease. Accompanied by frequent urge to defecate, tenesmus or bloody stools, weight loss, fatigue and listlessness. Digital examination may reveal a hard mass or tenderness in the anal canal or rectum. There may be pus and blood on the fingertip, and a foul odor. Tissue biopsy can help with diagnosis.

2. Internal rectal prolapse: Internal rectal prolapse refers to the situation in which the entire layer of the proximal rectal wall or just the mucosal layer is folded into the distal intestinal cavity or anal canal during defecation, does not extend beyond the outer edge of the anus, and persists after the feces are discharged. The most prominent symptoms of internal rectal prolapse are time-consuming and laborious defecation, anal distension, increased frequency of bowel movements, and incomplete emptying of the rectum. Other common symptoms include mucus and blood in the stool, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and abnormal urination.

3. Perianal abscess: The onset is acute and easy to misdiagnose. Because some abscesses are located deep, the lesions mostly occur in the area innervated by the autonomic nerves. The pain is often not obvious, and manifests as symptoms of heaviness, pain, or rectal irritation, which leads to a feeling of falling in the anus.
