Anal Cancer

An uncommon cancer, anal cancer appears in the anal canal, the short tube at the end of the rectum through which stool passes out of the body. There are several types of anal cancer categorized by the types of tumors that develop. Squamous cell carcinomas are in the anus caused by squamous cells that line most of the anal canal; basal cell carcinomas are skin cancer that affects areas of the skin exposed to the sun; and gastrointestinal stromal tumors are likely to form in the stomach or small intestines.

Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumors

Gastrointestinal (GI) neuroendocrine tumors are a rare type of cancer that grows in the lining of the GI tract. They are also called GI carcinoid tumors. These tumors develop from neuroendocrine cells, a type of cell that makes hormones that support certain bodily functions. Neuroendocrine cells are most common in the GI tract, where they make hormones that help control digestion.

GIST

A gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a type of tumor that occurs in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the stomach or small intestine. This type of tumor is thought to grow from specialized cells found in the gastrointestinal tract. GISTs are usually found in adults between ages 40 and 70; rarely, children and young adults develop this type of tumor.

Fecal And Urinary Incontinence

Both fecal and urinary incontinence issues range in severity from an occasional leak of urine or stool from a cough or sneeze to complete loss of control. Commonly nerve or muscle damage from childbirth, aging or physical disability is the cause, but things like constipation, surgery or illness can also be factors. Medical treatment and lifestyle changes can ease symptoms.

Anorectal Disease

Anal Fistula

When one of the small glands inside the anus becomes blocked and develops an abscess, that abscess may develop into a fistula which is a small tunnel connecting the infected glad inside the anus to an opening on the skin. While most fistulas result from anal abscess, some may be caused by trauma, cancer, diverticulitis, sexually transmitted disease, tuberculosis or Crohn's disease.
