What is the function of the large instestine?
The primary job of the large intestine is to reabsorb water back into the body. It also forms stools which are then excreted from the body during a bowel movement. Feces contain about 1/3 dead red blood cells, 1/3 dead bacteria, and 1/3 plant fiber. The smell of feces is due mostly to the decomposing food matter and the gases given off by the intestinal bacteria that help you digest your food. Another interesting fact, flatulence gets its odor mostly from two chemicals; methyl mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide, also given off by intestinal bacteria.
* They can be surgically removed if the doctor believes they need to be. * The treatment of hemorrhoids varies depending on where they are (inside or outside of the rectum), the problems they are causing, and how serious they are. For many people, hemorrhoids are temporary conditions that are healed either by medication or by the same measures recommended for prevention. In such cases, warm sitz bath, cold compress, or topical analgesic is sufficient to provide temporary relief to the patient. Some also find relief from a warm bath with epsom salts added in the water. When painful hemorrhoids do not respond to home-based remedies, professional medical treatment is necessary. The choice of treatment depends on the type of hemorrhoid, what medical equipment is available, and some other factors that need to be considered. Bleeding hemorrhoids can be treated with an injection of a substance that causes the hemorrhoids to become obliterated with scar tissue. This procedure is called injection sclerotherapy. * Large internal hemorrhoids and those that do not respond to injection sclerotherapy can be tied off with rubber bands. The band when tied causes the hemorrhoid to dry up and drop off painlessly. The treatment is usually applied to one hemorrhoid at a time and at intervals of two weeks or more. Internal hemorrhoids may also be destroyed with a laser rays, an infrared light or an electrical current. Rubber band ligation is probably the most widely used of the many treatments for internal hemorrhoids. It is also the least costly and painful method for the patient. This procedure is performed in the office of a family doctor or specialist, or in a hospital at an outpatient department. There are operations that remove/improve hemorrhoids: * Ferguson = closed method * Milligan-Morgan = open method * PPH = stapling method For surgery and other related things, see a surgeon or a proctologist.

This is called a "rectal spasm" and it is common for women who have given birth at some point in their lives to experience them for the rest of their lives off and on.
