Dr. Li Jingxiang
A feeling of heaviness or distension in the anus in women may be caused by various factors, mainly including:
1. Gynecological diseases: Such as dysmenorrhea and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which may irritate pelvic tissues and cause a sensation of anal heaviness.
2. Anorectal diseases: Including hemorrhoids (especially prolapsed internal hemorrhoids), rectal mucosal prolapse, anal sinusitis, perianal abscess, and others. These conditions directly affect the normal function of the anus and rectum, leading to feelings of distension.
3. Bowel problems: Such as intestinal inflammation or intestinal tumors, which may also cause anal discomfort.
4. Physiological factors: For example, functional bowel disturbances caused by improper or unhygienic diet, or special conditions such as late-term pregnancy.
