Imperforate Anus (SSR)

Eliminating waste is very important and good for the body. The buildup of wastes in the body

should be prevented because some wastes like Urea and even Salt can cause harm to certain

organs. Also, we have the intake of undigested food, now, if we do not excrete would not be able

to continue taking in food. We need to give out waste so that we can continue this same cycle

over and over . Now, imagine being born with something that does not allow infants to drop their

wastes. Eventually the waste will build up, and their organs would be affected. The defect that

does not allow infants to drop wastes is called Imperforate Anus.

Imperforate Anus is a congenital (Present from a birth) defect of the anus. There is partial or

complete obstruction of the anal opening. The rectum is at the end of the large intestine where

feces is stored until they leave the body. Imperforate anus is when there is no opening at the end

of the large intestine where the anus is usually located. Imperforate anus can take several forms.

Imperforate Anus is mostly found when you are a baby in male or women. This disease may

stop you from going to the bathroom your normal way since it may mess up your urinary system.

It can also mess up men and women reproductive system but since this disease is normally found

in babies they wouldn't get to that stage to know. In an article in 2005, D. Spouge had said that

700,000 live born infants have been found with imperforate anus.
