New Opportunities for Intimate Areas
Over the years, both men and women can develop anal disorders that negatively impact quality of life. During menopause, vaginal atrophy may accompany the emergence of uncomfortable anal border irregularities. Regenerative medicine using the Lipogems method offers an innovative and effective treatment opportunity for both anal regeneration and total pelvic floor regeneration.
We discuss this with Dr. Alberto Giori, proctologist surgeon at Image Regenerative Clinic, and Professor Carlo Tremolada, scientific director of Image Regenerative Clinic.
What are the main anal disorders that appear with age?
The most frequent anal disorders that appear with age are anal skin tags and anal polyps, in addition to hemorrhoids which are more of a disease than a disorder. Anal skin tags are excessive skin growths whose origin can be traced to friction phenomena and inflammatory episodes in the anal region. Anal polyps are generally fibroepithelial in nature and only rarely can be neoplastic. Like skin tags, polyps develop on the anal border but can also originate from the internal epithelium of the terminal portion of the anal canal. These are functional and aesthetic anal disorders that can negatively impact people's quality of life.
What are the symptoms of anal skin tags and polyps?
These disorders can create discomfort in intimate relationships, not only from an aesthetic perspective but also from functional and psychological standpoints, leading to limitations in one's sexuality.
