Anal canal inflammation is a common clinical condition characterized by persistent, pulsating anal pain. Some patients may also experience pruritus ani, perianal moisture, a sensation of rectal fullness or heaviness, and abnormal defecation. This condition frequently co-occurs with proctitis and anal sinusitis. Additional associated symptoms may include poor appetite, irregular bowel movements, and general discomfort. Early detection and prompt treatment are crucial.
