Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related death and one of the most preventable. The lifetime probability of an average person developing colorectal cancer is 6% (or about one in 20).
Bowel Incontinence
Incontinence (also called anal or bowel incontinence) is the impaired ability to control the passage of gas or stool. This is a common problem, but often not discussed due to embarrassment. Failure to seek treatment can result in social isolation and a negative impact on quality of life.
Anal Warts
The human papilloma virus (HPV), the most common sexually transmitted disease (STD), causes anal warts. The warts affect the area around and inside the anus, but may also develop on the skin of the genital area.
Anal Fissure
The anal canal is a short tube surrounded by muscle at the end of your rectum. The rectum is the bottom section of your colon (large intestine). An anal fissure is a small rip or tear in the lining of the anal canal. Fissures are common, but are often confused with other anal conditions, such as haemorrhoids.
Anal Cancer
Cancer describes a set of diseases in which normal cells in the body, through a series of genetic changes, lose the ability to control their growth and to respect their neighbours. As cancers grow, they invade the tissues around them (local invasion).
