Mucosa6
- namely, that it possesses a mucosa with a lining of a single layer of column-shaped cells with mucous-secreting goblet cells interspersed, resting on a lamina propria, with a layer of smooth muscle called muscularis mucosa. (wikipedia.org)
- There are a higher concentration of goblet cells in the rectal mucosa than other parts of the gastrointestinal tract. (wikipedia.org)

Discharge1
- Mucous discharge from the anus. (proctocareclinic.com)
Defecation3
- As the rectal walls expand due to the materials filling it from within, stretch receptors from the nervous system located in the rectal walls stimulate the desire to pass feces, a process called defecation. (wikipedia.org)
- Prolapse initially occurs with defecation and straining, but as the pelvic floor musculature becomes more lax, it can recur with the mildest straining, in upright position, or even spontaneously at rest. (medscape.com)
- Excessive pushing during defecation induces mucosal injury of the anterior rectal wall, which may lead to a solitary rectal ulcer. (medscape.com)

- These then end in branches in the submucosa, which join with (anastamose) with branches of the middle and inferior rectal arteries. (wikipedia.org)
Examination2

Full thickness rectal prolapse2
- External (complete) rectal prolapse (rectal procidentia, full thickness rectal prolapse, external rectal prolapse) is a full thickness, circumferential, true intussusception of the rectal wall which protrudes from the anus and is visible externally. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
- If the prolapse is present upon examination, feeling the prolapsed mucosa between fingers allows the examiner to distinguish between mucosal and full thickness rectal prolapse. (medscape.com)
Mucosal prolapse3
- Rectal prolapse can be divided into complete rectal prolapse, partial rectal prolapse, internal rectal prolapse, rectocele or mucosal prolapse. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
- Mucosal prolapse (partial rectal mucosal prolapse) refers to prolapse of the lining of the lower bowel due to loosening of the submucosal attachments to the muscularis propria of the rectal wall. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
- Image demonstrates mucosal prolapse, with radial folds seen on mucosa. (medscape.com)
Faecal incontinence2
- These include faecal impaction, prostatic cancer and benign prostatic hypertrophy in men, faecal incontinence, and internal haemorrhoids. (wikipedia.org)
- Rectal prolapse may result in mucous discharge, rectal bleeding, degrees of faecal incontinence and obstructed defecation symptoms. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
Ulceration2
- It describes ulceration of the rectal lining caused by repeated frictional damage as the intussusception is forced into the anal canal during straining. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)

Partial2
- Partial prolapse. (nih.gov)
- In false or mucosal (partial) prolapse, the mucosa shows radial folds at the anal junction, and it is usually quite small, whereas a full thickness or complete prolapse has circular folds (see the images below). (medscape.com)

Occurs3
- In voluntary defecation, in addition to contraction of the rectal muscles and relaxation of the external anal sphincter, abdominal muscle contraction, and relaxation of the puborectalis muscle occurs. (wikipedia.org)

- Conservative treatment has a more significant role in other forms of prolapse. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
Skin1
- Drying off the anal area completely after each sitz bath is important for minimizing moisture that irritates the skin surrounding your rectal area. (hemorrhoidstalk.com)
