inflammation of the rectum and the distal portion of the colon.Low Anterior Resection Syndrome
postoperative complication after removal of the rectum (low anterior resection surgery or resection surgery to the lower part of the colon). it includes disordered rectum function, e.g., frequent bowel movement; fecal incontinence; and constipation.Anal Infection
an infectious process affecting the anal area.Proctocolitis
inflammation of the rectum and colon.Malakoplakia
an inflammatory reaction characterized by the presence of papules or nodules usually in the genitourinary tract. it is usually a reaction to an infection. morphologically, it consists of foamy histiocytes and characteristic basophilic inclusion bodies called michaelis-gutmann bodies.Low Anterior Resection Syndrome
a collection of symptoms following removal of part or all of the rectum that may include frequency or urgency of stools, numerous bowel movements over a few hours, fecal incontinence, constipation alternating with numerous bowel movements, and/or increased intestinal gas.

Patient Education
Anal Disorders
The anus is the opening of the rectum through which stool passes out of your body. Problems with the anus are common. They include hemorrhoids, abscesses, fissures (cracks), and cancer.
You may be embarrassed to talk about your anal troubles. But it is important to let your doctor know, especially if you have pain or bleeding. The more details you can give about your problem, the better your doctor will be able to help you. Treatments vary depending on the particular problem.

Footnotes
[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
