Abstract
Background: Healthcare specialists encounter a spectrum of anorectal diseases which range from benign conditions such as hemorrhoids to more serious conditions such as malignancy. The present study aimed to study the prevalence and clinical presentation of anorectal disorders in population visiting a tertiary care centre.
Materials and Methods: The current investigation took place from August 2019 to February 2020 and was an observational cross-sectional study. All patients who complained of having anorectal issues were enrolled in the trial. After receiving their informed consent, they underwent an in-depth interview utilising a pretested structured questionnaire that centred on socio-demographic characteristics, a full physical examination, including a digital rectal examination and proctoscopy, and a detailed clinical history. For several factors, frequencies were computed. A p value of 0.05 was considered significant after data analysis.
Results: Of the total 200 cases, majority were males (n=143).A total of 97 were Fissure in ano, 60 are Hemorrhoids, rest were Abscess, Fistula, Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS). Common disease in both males and females was Fissure in ano, followed by Haemorrhoids. Majority of the subjects complained of pain (n=133) followed by bleeding, discharge and constipation.
Conclusion: Unhealthy life style habits are causative factors leading to Anorectal disorders.
