A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
External rectal prolapse may give symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome, fecal incontinence, or both, [17] [6] Other symptoms are bloody or mucous rectal discharge. [6] Relative indications are: Internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception), if it causes symptoms. [20] Anterior rectocele, if large and causing symptoms. [5]
The procedure reduces constipation and fecal incontinence in patients with rectal prolapse or rectal intussusception, and has a low rate of complications and recurrence. [65] The procedure is able to correct multiple anatomical defects associated with vaginal and rectal prolapse, as well as improving function in terms of continence and defecation.

Treatment of SRUS is difficult and there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines. [4] The treatment is based on the pathophysiology of SRUS, [5] and the main aim is restoration of a normal pattern of defecation. [1] The exact treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms, the severity/type of SRUS, and whether rectal prolapse is present or ...
Anorectal abscess (also known as an anal/rectal abscess or perianal/perirectal abscess) is an abscess adjacent to the anus. [1] Most cases of perianal abscesses are sporadic, though there are certain situations which elevate the risk for developing the disease, such as diabetes mellitus , Crohn's disease , chronic corticosteroid treatment and ...
The treatment of fecal impaction requires both the remedy of the impaction and treatment to prevent recurrences. Decreased motility of the colon results in dry, hard stools that in the case of fecal impaction become compacted into a large, hard mass of stool that cannot be expelled from the rectum.

Feline idiopathic cystitis begins as an acute non-obstructive episode and is self-limiting in about 85% of cases, resolving itself in a week. In approximately 15% of cases, it can escalate into an obstructive episode ("blocked cat") which can be life-threatening for a male cat. [5]
