K62.0: Anal polyp
The mucous membrane in your anal canal is protruding in one place.
The last segment of the large intestine consists of 2 sections. These 2 sections are the rectum and anal canal. The feces are collected in the rectum. The feces then move through the short anal canal to the anus. Feces are excreted through the anus.
The intestines are lined with mucous membrane. The mucous membrane is made up of many individual building blocks. These building blocks are called cells. The cells can multiply for instance because of an inflammation. If the cells multiply, the mucous membrane may protrude into the interior of the intestines.
If the mucous membrane is protruding into the anal canal, there may be itching and a discharge in the anus. You may also have pain in your anus. With this disease, you may also have no symptoms.
