The primary symptoms of rectal mucosal congestion and edema include the following: 1. Rectal mucosal bleeding and edema caused by bacterial infection or chronic inflammation, clinically manifesting as mucoid stools; 2. Rectal prolapse leading to irritation of the anal region, with clinical manifestations primarily including anal pain and swelling, and exacerbation of pain during defecation. Additionally, if left untreated, this condition may result in vascular rupture and mucosal injury, leading to symptoms such as anal bleeding.
