View detailsPilonidal disease
Pilonidal disease is a subcutaneous infection that commonly occurs in the sacrococcygeal region, specifically the gluteal cleft. It is characterized by recurrent infections, rupture, and the formation of sinuses containing hair. It predominantly affects young adults, with primary symptoms including recurrent acute or chronic abscesses in the sacrococcygeal gluteal cleft, or the formation of sinuses that repeatedly discharge secretions. Additionally, hair is often present at the sinus opening.
View detailsExternal hemorrhoids
Hemorrhoids can be classified into internal, external, and mixed hemorrhoids based on their location. The dentate line is the dividing line between the rectum and the anal canal. When the lesion occurs below the dentate line, it is called an external hemorrhoid. This condition typically presents with hemorrhoidal masses protruding outside the anus, accompanied by pain, itching, and sometimes bloody stools.
Internal hemorrhoids
Internal hemorrhoids are soft masses formed by the expansion and varicosity of the submucosal vascular plexus in the distal rectum, above the dentate line of the anal canal. They are essentially varicose venous plexuses. This condition can occur at all ages, with a slightly higher incidence in females than males. The main symptoms include hematochezia, prolapse of hemorrhoidal tissue from the anus, pain caused by incarceration or thrombosis, mucus discharge, and itching.
View detailsMixed hemorrhoids
There is a very important dividing line near the human anus, which is medically known as the "dentate line" because of its saw-like shape. If the blood vessels above the dentate line become tortuous and dilated, internal hemorrhoids form; if the blood vessels below the dentate line become tortuous and dilated, external hemorrhoids form. If both internal and external hemorrhoids are present at the same location above and below the dentate line, and they are interconnected and merge into one, it is called mixed hemorrhoids. Symptoms include post-defecation bleeding, prolapse of internal hemorrhoids, anal discomfort, perianal moisture, edema, and pain.

It is one of the common acute abdominal diseases in surgery.
View detailsAnal fissure
Anal fissure is a tear or crack in the skin of the anal canal, most commonly located in the posterior midline of the anal canal. The incidence of anal fissure ranks second only to hemorrhoids among anorectal diseases and can occur at any age, but is more common in young and middle-aged adults. The typical symptoms of anal fissure are severe anal pain, bloody stools, and constipation.
