Megarectum
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Megarectum is a condition in which the final portion of the large intestine, the rectum, is abnormally dilated. This enlargement alters the sensation of the need to have a bowel movement and the normal functioning of intestinal transit.
Frequent symptoms: It is usually associated with prolonged constipation, difficulty having bowel movements, a sensation of incomplete evacuation, and, in some cases, involuntary leakage of stool.
Common causes: It can arise from chronic retention of stool, alterations in the nerves or muscles of the area, or in association with other intestinal conditions.
Who to see? The general surgeon is the professional who evaluates this type of rectal disorder and defines the necessary studies. When constipation is persistent or accompanied by significant discomfort, it is advisable to present the case to a professional who can guide management.
