1 Causes and symptoms of

This disease manifests itself almost as much as hemorrhoids. But the symptoms are closely related to the causes that caused the sphincteritis. So, in most cases, the causes of sphincteritis are concomitant diseases in the body. Cholecystitis, duodenitis, cholelithiasis and gastric ulcer - it is these ailments that most often cause inflammation of the mucous membrane of the terminal portion of the rectum. Sometimes the cause may be hypertonic of the rectum or a violation of the sphincter function. All this is usually preceded by a sedentary lifestyle, bad habits and improper diet.

As for the symptoms, they can be very diverse. Here everything depends on the severity of the disease and on the patient's overall health.

We consider the main manifestations of the sphincteritis of the rectum, which should alert and force to seek advice from the proctologist:

1. Painful discomfort in the epigastric region( especially under the right rib), which during the meal or afterwards is greatly enhanced. Pain can give to the solar plexus. In this case, the whole abdomen can spread colic. They are easily confused with renal or hepatic. Therefore, the appearance of such a symptom should immediately call a doctor.
2. In case of a complicated course of the disease, a bitter taste can be observed in the mouth. In this case, the patient will be haunted by nausea and even vomiting. Due to the violation of bile ducts, vomiting of bile, jaundice and itching of the skin can still be observed.
3. False urge to defecate, and itching and pain in the anal area are common symptoms that can indicate both sphincteritis and hemorrhoids. Sometimes a person can even experience severe pain, but is not able to go to the toilet in a big way.
4. With sphincteritis, the feces usually become discolored. Constipation can be replaced by diarrhea and vice versa. After all, in most cases the whole process of digestion is disrupted. In this case, a person may have chills or fever.

Before treating this disease, the doctor must make sure that it is the sphincteritis of the rectum. For this, the patient is referred for different studies. As practice shows, the most complete medical picture is given simultaneously by laboratory studies together with computer diagnostics. So, determining the level of bilirubin in urine and the activity of amylase in alkali will help diagnose this disease. But all must necessarily be confirmed by more serious studies, which include duodenoscopy, echography, relaxation duodenography, sounding, and other methods of diagnosis. Also, the doctor should conduct an examination of the rectum of the patient in the usual way.

2 Methods of treatment

How to treat this disease? Here, too, everything depends heavily on the degree of prescription and severity of the disease. But in any case, treatment should be prescribed only by an experienced doctor, especially in cases when the disease has gone too far and you can not do without strong medications.

3 Folk methods in combating the disease

Treatment of folk remedies for sphincteritis of the rectum consists not only in the use of medicinal herbs, but also in observing the general rules of a healthy lifestyle. Occupation of special gymnastics, the use of reasonable amounts of easily digestible food, the rejection of bad habits - all this will contribute to the recovery of the patient.

It is also useful to do enemas from time to time and take a warm bath. As for enemas, the best effect is provided by means of chamomile infusion. For this you need 1 tbsp.l.dry chamomile medicinal flowers pour a glass of boiling water, cover and insist for about an hour. Then strain through gauze and use for enema. The course of treatment in this way is usually 10 days, but it is better to coordinate it with the attending physician.

Excellent result gives a warm bath of a weak solution of potassium permanganate. In such a bath should sit about half an hour every day for 2 weeks. It is best to do this procedure before going to bed. This will help relax the muscles of the anal region, disinfect the outer part of the rectum. For the best effect, the anal opening should be irrigated with the drug solution of Octeniderm.

Along with such activities it is also very useful to clean the intestines. It is not necessary for this to starve. It is necessary simply to address to the good homeopathist who will advise individually curative herbs that will help to deduce from an organism all superfluous.

4 Drug therapy

Sometimes a doctor can prescribe potent drugstores. So, in most cases( especially with severe inflammation), cholagogue and antibacterial drugs are prescribed. With unbearable pain in the anal area, antispasmodics can also be prescribed.

It should be clearly understood that buying a medicine in a pharmacy is by no means possible. This is especially true for pain medications. The fact is that each medicine has its own principle of action. And some drugs, whose action is aimed at eliminating pain, can cause even greater harm. After all, it is extremely important to know the true specificity of pain.

If the disease is completely neglected, and no treatment helps, the doctor can prescribe an operation. As a result, cuts will be made on the large intestine, which will later restore the normal function of the sphincter. But usually this is done in the most extreme cases.
