rectal dysfunction

Rectal dysfunction refers to difficulties related to the rectum and anorectal area, affecting bowel control and the ability to pass stool. Common issues include constipation, diarrhea, rectal prolapse, or incontinence, where one may lose control over bowel movements. It can result from various factors such as muscle damage, nerve issues, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms may include pain, discomfort, or an urgent need to use the bathroom. This dysfunction can significantly impact daily life and should be discussed with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment options.
