Presentation
RESULTS: The most common presenting symptoms were constipation and decreasing calibre of stool. The main causes of anal stenosis were previous surgery, neoplasia and fissure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Unfortunately, most patients present with advanced disease, with adjuvancy providing no clear benefits (3,8). Overall survival is poor despite aggressive management: From 5 % to 21 % at 5 years (3,8-10). [scielo.isciii.es]
We describe a case of a 6-month-old male child who presented with intermittent passage of fecal matter in urine along with ribbon-shaped stools through anal orifice, on straining. [saudisurgj.org]
Entire Body System
- Pain
All patients referred obstructive defecation, painful evacuation or bleeding. Mean values for operative time were 30 min. Postoperative pain was 3.9 at day 1 and 3.0 at 7th day (VAS scale). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Even in this case, surgery shouldn't be too painful, patients should be given adequate pain control using drugs as necessary. [anal-fissure.org]
- Surgical Procedure
In addition to simple dietary and medication changes, surgical procedures, such as lateral internal sphincterotomy or transfers of healthy tissue are other potentially good options. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Both techniques require the fistula tracts to be first curetted and all local sepsis treated. Fibrin glue is employed after identifying both the external and internal openings, which are then injected with the glue. [glowm.com]
- Severe Pain
Pain is the primary complication of hemorrhoidectomy. Most patients experience moderate to severe pain after traditional hemorrhoid surgery and require narcotics for pain control. [livestrong.com]
In our institution the patient presented with poorly controlled severe pain despite high-dose opioids, severe rectal incontinence, and a stricture 1 cm away from the pectineal line that hardly allowed a finger through it. [scielo.isciii.es]

Respiratoric
- Cough
Normal hemorrhoid bundles provide some degree of fecal continence, especially during periods of increased abdominal pressure like sneezing or coughing. Removal of these bundles results in loss of this continence in less than 10 percent of patients. [livestrong.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Constipation
The presence constipation in two generations of this family with YPS suggests that constipation could be a gastrointestinal manifestation of the condition. [consultant360.com]

The constipation left her with a significant protruding stomach and constant abdominal pain. Every few weeks, Aubrey was back at her doctor's office due to the constipation. [nutritionalwellness.com]
- Vomiting
Case Report A 2-day-old previously healthy neonate presented to a district hospital with a 1-day history of poor feeding, abdominal distension and vomiting. Antenatal scans had shown no fetal abnormality and maternal history was normal. [jpss.eu]
This enables us to keep the stomach empty so the baby does not vomit and your baby will be given fluid through a drip sited in one of its veins. [uhs.nhs.uk]
We present the case of a 2-month-old boy who presented vomiting, constipation, weakness, and abdominal distension. [analesdepediatria.org]
You should also tell if you are taking any muscle relaxer, antidepressant, antipsychotic, narcotic, or medicine for vomiting and nausea. [sieog.it]
She had no history of vomiting. On examination, her abdomen was soft, non-tender, with no palpable mass, and not distended. [websurg.com]
- Rectal Pain
Rectal pain that stemmed from an ano-rectal fissure was an important differential in this scenario; however, the patient’s negative history for any signs of rectal bleeding and negative physical exam made it less probable. [springerplus.springeropen.com]
Furthermore, some patients are so miserably affected by the rectal pain that several weeks of conservative therapy is not an option. [glowm.com]
- Rectal Mass
On examination, superficial abscesses will be indurated, erythematous, tender masses. Deeper abscesses may be palpated as a tender boggy mass on digital rectal exam; however, the exam may be deceivingly unremarkable. [glowm.com]
- Nausea
You should also tell if you are taking any muscle relaxer, antidepressant, antipsychotic, narcotic, or medicine for vomiting and nausea. [sieog.it]
Skin
- Skin Lesion
It can be applied in weekly intervals to the perianal skin lesions, but should not be applied within the anal canal. [glowm.com]
Psychiatrical
- Fussiness
I kept a log of her feedings and when she began to go too long and she would get fussy, then i would insert a glycerin suppository and poof that was all she needed to help her go. [mamapedia.com]
My little guy has been very fussy and I can tell his tummy hurts a lot. He just can't go poop on his own. He's able to pas gas but can't poop unless I give him a suppository. I knew something wasn't right with him. [whattoexpect.com]
Urogenital
- Incontinence
Patients can be left with severe rectal evacuatory difficulties, anal fissuring and resistant faecal incontinence. The management of such patients is difficult since surgical treatment can worsen faecal incontinence. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Preoperative and 12-month postoperative Cleveland Clinic Incontinence Scores were 0.83 ± 1.15 (range, 0–4) and 0.39 ± 0.70 (range, 0–2) ( p = 1.0). The clinical success rate was 88.9%. No severe postoperative complications were observed. [ingentaconnect.com]

For most people, rectal strictures are caused by one or a combination of these factors: constipation or straining to have a bowel movement, anal or rectal fissures (tears), trauma, weak blood vessels, irritation from constant diarrhea, inflammatory bowel [listentoyourgut.com]
When the symptoms of anal stenosis persist, they are usually a result of one or more of the following causes: Constipation or straining during bowel movements Anal or rectal tears Complications from a surgical procedure, such as a hemorrhoidectomy Irritation [tgh.org]
They are sometimes painful, and can be accompanied by swelling and irritation. deleted_user 07/19/2007 I suffer this from a hemorrhoidectomy in 2002. It is so frustrating. Anybody else out there got it? I feel so alone. [dailystrength.org]
Bichloracetic acid is also applied in weekly intervals, but it may be applied in the anal canal. 5-FU 5% cream has also been used for condyloma, but causes severe skin irritation, making it less well tolerated. [glowm.com]
Workup
She did an exam and sent us to a pediatric surgeon to do a workup for anal stenosis, meaning she believes her anus is too narrow for her age. [forums.thebump.com]
Treatment
Both non-surgical and surgical treatments have been devised in the treatment of anal stenosis with good results. We described the results of the treatment of this disease in the Coloproctology Department of our institution. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
For these children, a colostomy is indicated during the newborn period, but once the final surgery corrects the defect, the prognosis is likewise excellent. [drgreene.com]
These patients have an excellent prognosis for bowel control and fecal continence, and therefore, complete mobilization and resection of the anal canal must be avoided. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis is good as far as anal continence is concerned because the anal sphincter complex development is normal. [saudisurgj.org]
Since its initial description by Hermann in 1880 (2), 5-year survival rates have been estimated around 5 %-40 % (3-5), and one reason for this poor prognosis is delayed diagnosis due to overlapping with benign conditions. [scielo.isciii.es]
Etiology
Due to the rarity of this pathology and the different referral patterns among institutions, the etiology ranges widely between published reports. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The pathophysiology of chronic anal fissures has not been clearly established. [obesityhelp.com]
Prevention
Prevention of this condition may be achieved by adequate intake of dietary fiber or regular bulk laxatives in these debilitated patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, anal stenosis can, in many cases, be prevented from occurring in the first place. [tgh.org]
