What is the purpose of enemas?
Suppositories are normally smooth, bullet shaped pills made of a substance that becomes liquid or dissolves when exposed to the internal temperature and environment of the rectum and colon. They are used as a drug delivery system for systemically or locally acting medications. A suppository may be employed when the drug being delivered has the tendency to cause stomach upset (such as Voltaren), or if the patient is experiencing intractible vomiting. The suppository is deployed by gently pushing it through the anus, into the rectum. This may be facilitated by using an exam glove or finger cot. Extra lubrication is rarely needed due to the nature of the medium used, but if needed, it should be water-soluble.
What could a lump at the top of your butt crack be?
It may be caused by a pilonidal cyst, an infection/cyst near the tailbone that fills with purulent material (pus).
Or, if no signs of redness, drainage, or swelling, sometimes people have broken their tailbones from a fall without realizing it until there is pain in that area.

Why would a woman have a itchy rectum all the time with bleeding?
== == Try using baby wipes after voiding your bowels. First use your regular toilet paper then the baby wipes. When you wipe -with the baby wipes- don't wipe yourself raw, but wipe until there is no color. Often times an itchy rectum is from feces remaining in on the anus itself. Another option to help prevent an itch rectum is to give yourself an enema after a bowel movement, this will help ensure that there is not any feces to cause itchiness.

It is called Skene's gland. It produces a clear slippery viscous fluid which forms the main component of semen when mixd with the sperm which give it a white cloudy appearance.

How to whiten the skin around your rectum?
I have tried many methods, and the first time I tried to cover it in bleach. This burned so i had to wash it out right away but it did seem a little lighter since i left it on for like a minute or so... Then I tried peroxide (the kind of bleach you use on your hair). I followed the instructions on the package, except i put it on my butt. This took a while longer to burn than the bleach did, so that whitened it up for about a week since I could leave it on for about 5 minutes. The only downside to that was my rectum was sore for the first two days and it was hard to go to the bathroom.
Steps:
1. Get peroxide and mix as if you were going to put it on your hair.
2. Put it on your rectum, use thick layers.
3. ?????
4. PROFIT!
Good luck, and enjoy your new white butthole!

What are Sharp shooting pains in the rectum when on your period?
The most common cause of sharp pains in the vaginal area is vaginal dryness. This can be treated by using a number of lubricant products. It can also be caused by an infection or inflammation.
Yes, if it is caught in time and has not spread to other organs or the bones.
Any cancer can be cured if caught in time. We all have cancer cells in our body, it is whether or not these cells metastasize (spread) that determines our outcome.

Is it normal for a woman to discharge from her rectum?
At the beginning of your pregnancy, yes, discharge is normal. It may be very annoying because it stains your underwear and also tends to have a bad odor. The nick name for this is "the snail trail". It tends to go away after the first trimester in pregnancy. If you have it later than that though, consult your doctor because this could be a sign of a yeast or other bacterial infection which can affect the fetus.
Can you have a bladder prolapse and a rectal prolapse at the same time?
Yes you can! I have stage three bladder prolapse with NO incontinence or sexual pain during intercourse. What I have is a small "bulge" on the right side of my vaginal opening that is sometimes pretty much unnoticeable, and at other times a bit bothersome but no worse.
After reading stacks and stacks of information on prolapse, and their surgery's' poor success rates (Some sources say that almost 1 in 3 prolapse surgeries result in further need for future surgery, and incontinence developing where there was none before.),I'll avoid any surgery I can till physicians perfect the surgeries that are now available to us women.
Currently, I use a estrogen cream twice weekly and it seems to do the trick for me. And remember, I have stage threebladder prolapse, one that most sources on the subject say always calls for surgery. My gynecologist does not agree.
Prolapse is an often unexpected development of menopause that no one tells you about till you have it. There should be more information made available to younger women when so that many of them can possibly avoid these surgeries before we are candidates for them in the first place. My suggestion is to check out everything and choose surgery as your absolute LAST option. It's your decision, in the long run, and it will effect you for the rest of your life.
Bowel resection is a surgical procedure in which a diseased part of the large intestine is removed. The procedure is also known as colectomy, colon removal, colon resection, or resection of part of the large intestine.
What does it mean when you have yellow mucus coming out of your rectum?
Is this during bowel movements? Do you get a sudden urge to get to the toilet? How many bowel movements do you have per day?
You need to see your GP for a referral to a gastroenterologist ASAP.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis will present with these symptoms, but from your brief description lets not jump to conclusions, you will need a clinical diagnosis.
Diagnosis will most likely be made via a Colonoscopy if the doctor suspects IBD.
Let me know if you'd like more info on ulcerative colitis, I am a well trained health professional in this form of medicine but I am reluctant to put any ideas in your head right now, theres no point getting you all concerned when it could be something less serious and quite manageable. Information is easily found on IBD's all over the net anyway.
For now, maintain a normal healthy diet, avoid foods and drinks (such as alcohol) which irritate the bowel, and see you doc!
Why would your child's rectal area bleed?
There are several reasons a child could have slight bleeding from the rectum. Just like in adults, bleeding from the rectum can occur when:
- Some children "hold it" rather than going to the bathroom. This can lead to constipation. Read below for how this can cause bleeding.
- Constipation can irritate the mucosal lining of rectum, which is inside the body. Hard stool can create very small tears in the lining, which bleed. The bleeding would be in very small amounts, and typically bright red, changing to brown as the bleeding stops and the tear heals.
- "Straining" to push out hard fecal matter. Any forceful straining against hard bowel movement can push against and tear the rectal lining. The biggest causes of constipation are: not enough fluids; medications that cause drying of mucous membranes or cause constipation; decreased activity or exercise; the kinds of foods eaten; and not enough fiber.
- Hemorrhoids can develop in children, not just external but internal ones. A doctor can determine if a child has hemorroids.
- Anal sexual abuse can cause bleeding also. Rather than questioning a child or doing an "examination" yourself, consult a doctor.
Doctors will probably exam, rule out causes, and make recommendations that could include: increasing fluids; change of medications that cause drying of mucous membranes or cause constipation to a different med; increased activity or exercise; a food diary for the kinds of foods eaten; limiting constipation causing foods; inclusion of fiber in the diet; and in some cases, a doctor might order a short term laxative for 7 to 10 days. Note: Long term laxatives are not good for the intestines. Follow your doctor's instructions to help your child develop good bowel habits.
NOTE! Any large amount of blood, bleeding that doesn't stop on its own (changing to darker color), or bleeding with pain needs an immediate visit to the doctor or ER. Call your doctor for his recommendations.)
