What is the rectum

The rectum is a part of the large intestine, located at the end of the large intestine.

The rectum is a part of the human intestinal tract, which contains muscle fibers. It has the function of storing feces and promoting the excretion of feces. After food residue absorbs nutrition, it may turn into feces. Through the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, feces can be excreted, and the excretion of feces needs to pass through the rectum and be excreted through the anus. Since the other end of the rectum is relatively close to the anus, if spicy and stimulating foods are eaten frequently or if smoking and excessive drinking are common, it may cause certain irritation to the rectum, which is easy to cause inflammation, and even infection may occur.

Patients can take medications such as levofloxacin tablets and cefamet capsules under the guidance of a doctor, which can promote the recovery of the illness.
