  Diarrhea Bowel Obstruction Hemorrhoids
Pathophysiology Microbial or viral pathogens insult the epithelium of the intestine, leading to poor absorption of water; ultimately increasing motility; hence, diarrhea with loose stools (Kelly et al.,2018). Distention of proximal bowel and collapse of the distal segment. Bowel walls become edematous as fluid gathers in the bowel lumen.

Constipation and straining from hard fecal matter increase intra-abdominal pressure that ultimately obstructs the venous return in the hemorrhoidal plexus, leading to engorgement of the plexus (Margetis, 2019).
Etiology Infections from bacteria and viruses lead to reduced water absorption or increased water secretion. Tumors, hernias, postoperative adhesions, hematoma, stenosis, gallstones, or foreign bodies (Catena et al., 2019). Chronic constipation, vigorous straining, or prolonged sitting that leads to trauma to the anal mucosa or dilation of the arteriovenous plexuses.
