Rupture of the rectal mucosa is an anal fissure. This crack can occur with constipation, with acute undigested particles in the stool, with sex( anal).Also, gut cracks can trigger diarrhea. When the symptoms of a rectal crack begin to appear, do not tighten and consult a doctor. Symptoms of a crack to recognize is not difficult.

Symptoms caused by the appearance of anal fissure

One of the first signs of a rectal fissure is the appearance of pain in the anus. When there is pain during defecation, there is a crack in the acute stage, and with pain after defecation, most likely the disease has acquired a chronic form, and the pain is very strong. These pains lead to a delay in patients with bowel movements and constipation. With a long course of the disease it happens that the pain is absent. Painful sensations can be given in the perineum and in the sacrum, which contributes to difficulty urinating, changes in the menstrual cycle. And also these sensations can provoke attacks of a stenocardia.

If a crack has formed long ago, the nerve endings are very irritated, which causes acute pain leading to a prolonged spasm of sphincters in the anus. This condition can last for several hours. Because of such problems of the rectum, the pain is simply unbearable. The second sign of a gut crack is a spasm of the anal sphincter.

Defect in the mucous membrane can cause damage to muscle tissue by the calves. There may be slight bleeding. Bleeding is also a sign of the problem of the rectum - the formation of a crack. The forms of this disease of the rectum can be: anal sharp crack and anal chronic fissure.

Symptoms in acute anal fissure

Pain in acute disease has three phases. Initially, a short pain during defecation, sometimes accompanied by a slight bleeding. Then comes a period of rest, which does not last long. Then comes a strong spasmodic pain and lasts for several hours.

Symptoms of a crack in the chronic course of the disease

With an external examination, the chronic fissure, compared with an acute anal fissure, has its own peculiarities. The edges near the crack are denser, a coarse tissue appears, which forms the "guard ridge" at the distal margin. In the chronic phase of pain, the patient appears after defecation. These pains are less painful, they may not be present at all. At the same time spasm of sphincter and spotting persist. There may also be diaper rash in the perianal area and severe itching.

Independently, without special treatment, the rectal fissure will not heal. Therefore, to prevent negative consequences with the rectum, if symptoms appear, do not hesitate and contact a specialist.
