Pain in lower abdomen and discharge

Goblet cells of the large intestine secrete mucus that does not have color. It is necessary to prevent the occurrence of ruptures, to accelerate the movement of stools, to protect the mucosa from acid and bacterial effects. She also binds the fecal material together. If mucus is not sufficiently allocated, then constipation occurs

When emptied, up to 5 ml of mucus leaves, but normally it is not visible. The lower abdomen and excrement are painful for various pathologies of the digestive system, mainly the large intestine. These symptoms can occur if a person is eating poorly, as well as developing severe diseases that require surgery.

Why mucus appears

Discharge from the large intestine appears if an inflammatory or infectious disease develops, there are anal fissures, swelling, or hemorrhoids. The inflammatory process causes the goblet cells to produce more mucus to get rid of the bacterial or viral agent. As a result, the secret becomes visible on the feces or flows out and turns on the laundry.

A large amount of mucus speaks of serious bowel diseases. Slime can be secreted during bowel emptying or independent of it. If the secret goes simultaneously with defecation, then it does not deliver pain. Therefore, people can not always immediately find it.

If the mucosal discharge follows on its own, it indicates that the sphincter does not retain the contents of the rectum. Outside the defecation act, mucus can flow out when proctitis, pararectal fistula, hemorrhoids, prolapse of the rectum.

Tenesmus is a false urge to empty the intestines, which are painful and do not lead to the release of stool. Only a small amount of mucus or blood is noted. This symptom may indicate colitis, proctitis, hemorrhoids, polyps, typhoid, dysentery.

Muscle spasm, causing a false urge, can occur with frequent diarrhea or with prolonged sitting posture. Allocations may occur with poisoning or because of irritable bowel syndrome. This is due to a violation of microflora.

Thus, the body tries to get rid of toxins and bacterial or viral agents. These diseases are accompanied by diarrhea, bloating, a feeling of fullness of the intestine. Mucous secretions are not so many and, as a rule, they are transparent.

If mucus is released outside the act of defecation, it leads to increased skin moisture in the anus, then to maceration and dermatitis. Hence, anal fissures, itching, burning, soreness in defecation.

When there is a microcrack there is a strong itching, scratching can lead to a layering of bacterial infection. In men, this can cause prostatitis due to the penetration of germs into the damaged rectum tissue.

In women, light brown, spotting on the laundry can occur due to diseases of the genitourinary system. Transparent slime( in consistency like snot), odorless, and up to 2 ml in volume, released from the vagina, is considered an indicator of normal activity of the reproductive system.

As indicated by mucus from the anus

The appearance of mucus, blood, pus, fat in the stool, it is only a symptom. Therefore, the color, odor or amount of secretions can not be judged on the etiology of pathology. But still these signs help determine the preliminary diagnosis.

If mucus leaves with mucus yellow, orange or red, then this is a sign of internal pathology

When mucus dysfunction becomes mucus orange, it has a very unpleasant smell. In fungal infection of the anal opening, mucus with white coating is excreted together with feces.
Neoplasms growing in the large intestine provoke the appearance of greenish or yellowish mucus.

Foamy mucus from the anus opens if there is a sexual infection. As a rule, it is manifested by pain in the genital area. In diseases of the liver or gallbladder, bile may leak. A dangerous symptom is mucus with impurities of pus in consistency similar to jelly.

Intestinal infections provoke increased production of mucus, while the discharge is brown, and also yellow or green, which indicates the pathogen. Color appears as a result of the destruction of cells of the epithelial layer.

Allocations similar to raspberry jelly occur with thrombosis of the intestinal vessels. Additional symptoms of the pathology are lower abdominal pain, swelling, intoxication. Blood in the stool can appear due to many pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. By its color, you can determine in which department the bleeding started.

If the blood is dark, it is a sign of bleeding in the small intestine, stomach or esophagus. Scarlet blood appears if there is a violation in the large intestine. The color of blood changes under the influence of oxidative processes, if the blood is red, then it has not yet had time to oxidize.

Oily discharge is not always a symptom of pathology. They can appear after fatty foods, diet pills or oral contraceptives. Fecal masses with such discharge strongly shine. If the symptom appears regularly, it can be a sign of inflammation of the gallbladder or pancreas, internal hemorrhoids, colitis.

Diseases that cause the secretion of a large amount of secret

If mild food poisoning or improper eating habits( excessive consumption of alcohol, salty or acute), mucus from the anus can appear. The intestinal mucosa is irritated and reacts to the deleterious effects of stools by enhanced secretion.

Excessive mucosal discharge may occur after eating stale foods or unusual foods, as well as sharp, salty, spicy dishes.

Excessive secretion of secretion most often occurs with hemorrhoids, but this can be caused by:

• Crohn's disease;
• neoplasms;
• proctitis;
• with fistula and anal fissures;
• dysbiosis;
• by turning the guts;
• partial obstruction;
• by reproduction in the gut of gonococcus and herpes;
• with rectum ulcer;
• condylomata.

Allocations with pus from the anus are characteristic of acute inflammatory diseases caused by a bacterial or viral infection( it may be primary or secondary), as well as for the disintegration of the tumor, fistulas, abscesses. They are accompanied by an unpleasant odor, and the stool, as a rule, is foamy with particles of undigested food.

In most cases, the disease, in addition to secretions, causes and pulling pains at the very bottom of the abdomen, in the lower back, burning in the anus. If the pains in the rectum occur without any secretions, then this can also indicate an early stage of the pathology.

Hemorrhoids

Mucus often occurs with hemorrhoids due to irritation of the mucosa of the large intestine. One of the bright symptoms of the disease is the discharge of blood from the rectum after the act of defecation. When a hemorrhoidal node is broken, erosion, a crack, an ulcer, the blood is bright red, it does not mix with the feces, but covers them.

Allocations are pink or red, which is affected by the severity of bleeding. With inflammation of the mucosa, exudate is released, which leads to maceration and the development of inflammatory foci in the near-anoral zone.

In the third stage of hemorrhoids, up to 10 ml of mucus may appear during defecation. With superficial inflammation, the secret is yellow, and if purulent proctitis develops, it becomes a green tint.

With hemorrhoids, a cloudy jelly-like mucus with white flakes, blood veins

is released. Rarely with hemorrhoids, a symptom such as calomization appears. At the same time, brown discharge and pain in the lower abdomen are noted. They, as a rule, arise if a person suffers from frequent constipation. This symptom can be manifested in the presence of neoplasm in the intestine.

In some cases, the secret continues to be allocated and some time after the operative removal of hemorrhoids. In consistence they resemble jelly, the color is pink. This is explained by the restoration of the intestinal wall after the operation and is considered a variant of the norm.

Crohn's disease

In Crohn's disease, any part of the gastrointestinal tract can become inflamed. The disease can lead to complications such as peritonitis, bleeding, fistula. From the anus, the discharge is dark, purulent, with an admixture of blood.

The amount of secretion depends on the stage of pathology. Crohn's disease is manifested by abdominal pains, frequent diarrhea, exhaustion, avitaminosis, flatulence, eye and skin damage.

Dysbacteriosis

With dysbacteriosis, the secret is white and does not have a fetid odor. The disease provokes intestinal poisoning, drug therapy, diseases of the digestive system, decreased immunity, malnutrition. On the violation of microflora indicates bloating, nausea, bad breath, diarrhea, replacing constipation.

Infections

Bacterial infections also cause the intestines to respond by increasing the amount of mucus. Affect the body can shigella, E. coli, staphylococcus and other bacteria and viruses. When infection is disturbed, appetite, vomiting, blood pressure drops, body temperature rises, there are tenesmus, headaches, mucus is visible in the stool with blood.

Abnormal discharge can occur with any intestinal infection affecting the large intestine( cholera, enterovirus, salmonellosis, amoebiasis)

For example, with dysentery, pain first appears in the entire abdomen, then concentrates in the right side from below or below the abdomen. Diarrhea can be up to 10 times a day, while stools quickly lose consistency, they can see blood, brownish mucus, pus. The urge to defecate is painful, and can be false.

Dermatitis

Perianal dermatitis in adults occurs with the introduction of a bacterial or fungal infection, as well as against other diseases( cancer, helminths, allergies, hemorrhoids, colitis).If the disease has developed due to bacteria, then on the skin in the area of ​​the anus, bubbles with pus appear, which crack and lead to wetting.

Irritable bowel syndrome

In IBS, secretion of mucus by goblet cells increases, which is caused by mechanical stimulation of the walls by slow motion of stool. When the disease has a feeling of incomplete emptying of the intestine, during the day, diarrhea is replaced by constipation( in the morning, hard feces with mucus, then several times the stool is semi-formalized).

Proctitis

Isolation from the anus appears and with acute proctitis. They purulent, contain an admixture of blood. Mucus in the chronic course of the disease can be of different shades( from light to yellow), depending on which bacteria caused inflammation.

The disease also provokes hyperthermia, false urge to empty the intestine, burning and stitching in the rectum, pain in the lower abdomen. The skin around the anus is irritated, becoming red.

Paroproktit

Paraproctitis is a disease in which the tissues surrounding the rectum become inflamed and fester. The cause of the pathology in getting a bacterial infection( staphylococci, streptococci, Escherichia coli) from the rectum into the underlying layers of the pararectal area.

Acute paraproctitis is manifested by pain, redness, hyperthermia, swelling of the tissues and suppuration. With the chronic form of the disease, the symptoms are less pronounced, however, their prolonged exposure leads to the formation of a pararectal fistula, which is characterized by the excretion of pus or pituitary glands into the perineum.

If the internal fistula is incomplete, pain appears, which is worse when defecation, and after the act the

subsides. What to do if there are excretions of

If it has been noted that the opacifying mucus is released from the anus, it is necessary to visit a specialist. Especially should alert if it hurts strongly the stomach and discharge with an unpleasant smell or with blood( a symptom of an infectious inflammatory disease)

If the infectious process is not stopped, then it can affect adjacent areas of the intestine and peritoneum, cause profuse bleeding, the appearance of ulcers and erosions, anal fissures. Treatment is aimed at eliminating the underlying disease that triggers the production of mucus.

Also prescribed drugs that enhance the immune function of the body. To eliminate painful sensations spasmolytics are recommended. If the discharge occurs against the background of irritable bowel syndrome, then diet therapy is indicated. The patient also requires the use of sedatives and a visit to the therapist.

Allergic diseases are treated with antihistamines( local and systemic), as well as diet and intake of adsorbents. To quickly get rid of itching and blisters on the skin apply hormonal ointments.

Treatment of hemorrhoids involves drug therapy, which includes angioprotekroty( Detrolex, Escuzane, Troxevasin), as well as suppositories that have antiviral, regenerative, analgesic and laxative properties( Anestezol, Anuzol, Relief), and ointments with heparin. If conservative methods of treatment are not effective, surgical intervention is required.

If the pains in the lower abdomen and secretions are disturbed even occasionally, then you need to consult a proctologist to find out the cause of the symptoms and get adequate therapy. Also, consultation is necessary if there is burning and stinging in the rectum area, there is a feeling of a foreign object. The earlier treatment begins, the more likely it is to avoid dystrophic processes and serious complications.
