Department of Colon & Rectum
What is Colon & Rectum?
The colon and rectum are parts of the large intestine (large bowel) in the digestive system. They help absorb water and salts from food, process waste, and prepare stool for elimination from the body.
The colon is a long, tube-like organ that connects the small intestine to the rectum. The rectum is the last part of the large intestine, where stool is stored before being passed out through the anus.
Common Colon & Rectum Diseases That Require Treatment
- Colorectal Cancer – cancer arising from the lining of the colon or rectum
- Hemorrhoids (Piles) – swollen veins in the rectum or anus causing bleeding and discomfort
- Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – mainly ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – functional bowel disorder with pain, bloating and altered bowel habits
- Diverticulitis – inflamed or infected small pouches (diverticula) in the colon wall
- Fecal Incontinence – difficulty controlling bowel movements, leading to leakage
Cirrhosis & Colon Rectum – How Are They Linked?
Cirrhosis usually refers to scarring (fibrosis) of the liver, not the colon or rectum. However, long-standing liver cirrhosis can indirectly affect the colon and rectum and increase the risk of complications.
- Portal Hypertension (high pressure in the liver veins due to cirrhosis) can cause rectal varices (swollen veins in the rectum), which may lead to rectal bleeding.
- Patients with chronic liver disease and cirrhosis may have a higher risk of colorectal cancer, so timely screening colonoscopy is important in selected cases.
