ANAL AND RECTAL PROBLEMS
     

The anus is the opening of the lower large intestine (rectum) to the outside. Discomfort during bowel movements may be due to a disorder of the rectum, the anus, or the skin around the anus. Rectal or anal bleeding is often due to hemorrhoids but can also be an early symptom of cancer. Consult your doctor if you have any bleeding or persistent discomfort.
