What happens if you hold in your farts?
You can get some really bad stomach pains. I don't think that you can hold them in forever. It usually comes out when your sleeping when your body is relaxed if your holding it in all day. My suggestion is to find a place out of the way of other people and if you have to, then let it rip. It's a natural function of the body but we have to try and be a little discreet about location.

What is the difference between haemorrhoid and rectal prolapse?
Two completely different things. Hemorrhoids are places at or in the rectum or anus where veins have become swollen into lumps. They may be benign or cause pain or itching. They may be internal or external.
A rectal prolapse is where the rectum itself (not just veins) has partially exited the anus and hangs down. In such a case, a doctor should be consulted immediately.

Can you have the flu in your rectum?
Well for the sake of giving a good answer to an interesting question: oddly enough, I'd say yes.
Influenza viruses attack our bodies by attaching to the specific cells of our mucous tissue. This type of tissue is in the lining of the respiratory system and also in the lining of the gastrointestinal system. So, it is possible to catch the flu if the virus gets on your mucous tissue regardless of where it is in your body.
So, since the rectum is also lined with this type of tissue, it is possible (although unlikely) for a virus particle to enter into your gastrointestinal system at the top and not attach to the mucous tissue cells until it gets to the bottom and then manages to attach to one before it is excreted. In that sense, you would have flu virus particles attached to the cells of your mucous tissue in your rectum. And that could be considered having flu in your rectum.
Alternately, if you had the virus on your hand (or an object) and if that managed somehow to touch the mucous tissue at your anus, then virus particles could be introduced and attach directly to the mucous tissue of the rectum near the anus, and then you could also have flu in your rectum.
The symptoms would still be of the respiratory flu, not the "stomach flu" (gastroenteritis), however. It is the kind of virus that determines the symptoms, not the location of the introduction of the virus.
The anus is either not present or it is in the wrong place.
During a rectal resection, the surgeon removes the diseased or perforated portion of the rectum. If the diseased or damaged section is not very large, the separated ends are reattached. Such a procedure is called rectal anastomosis.
Cancer of the rectum is the disease characterized by the development of malignant cells in the lining or epithelium of the rectum

What section of colon is directly before rectum?
The large intestine is directly before rectum.
No, sir. the large intestine is the same thing as the colon. the sigmoid is directly before the rectum.
What does it mean when your rectum and sigmoid colon is dilated?
Most commonly, it means that chronic constipation or retention of stool has led to overstretching and reduction of muscle tone in the rectum. This overstretching weakens the muscle and starts a downward spiral of functional loss. Talk with your health care provider to discuss dietary and behavioral changes, and possibly medication, to help this situation. It is common and treatable.
