Anal swelling is actually a subjective feeling of the self. What is its main manifestation? It is like a feeling of urge to defecate. Normal people usually only have anal bloating before going to the toilet and want to defecate. However, there are some people who always feel anal swelling and want to defecate, but when they go to the squatting toilet, there is no stool coming out. This condition is most often due to local inflammation of the anorectum, such as anal sinusitis or proctitis. It is recommended to do a routine anoscopy to see if the local inflammation of the anus is the cause. If the anal swelling is caused by local inflammation of the anus or rectum, a sitz bath, including herbal medicine, can provide significant relief to the patient’s symptoms. The normal bowel movement is usually 1-2 times, and the stool is soft and formed “banana stool”. If there is no change in the nature or color of the stool, and if there is an occasional increase in the number of bowel movements, it is not a big problem. If the number of stools increases repeatedly for a long period of time, such as 3 or 4 times, and the nature of the stool is not normal, such as the stool is thin or mixed with mucus or occasionally bloody stool, it is considered to have a combination of intestinal problems. The most common problem is the presence of enteritis. In elderly people, it is more important to pay attention to whether there is a combination of intestinal tumors and other disorders.
