An expanded anus involves a condition where the anus stays in a dilated or enlarged state. This expansion can be due to chronic straining, surgical procedures, or damage to the anal muscles and nerves. An expanded anus may lead to issues such as fecal leakage, gas leakage, and difficulty in controlling bowel movements, impacting overall comfort and daily activities.
