A new and strange consequence of covid: After a mild course, the man developed restless anal syndrome

The various long-term consequences of Covid-19 are still not well described. It turns out that there may be more of them than we thought. This is also proved by this relatively bizarre story from Japan, where a man developed “restless anal syndrome.”

Mild course, rare consequence

The rare case of a 77-year-old Japanese was described by doctors in a case report published in BMC Infectious Diseases . The man came to Tokyo Medical University Hospital with relatively typical symptoms of covid, including cough and mild fever, according to the IFL Science portal . He spent the next 10 days in the hospital for observation and was treated for the pneumonia he developed. oxygen, or connection to ventilation. However, the other details in his case were so unusual and unique that they caught the attention of the doctors themselves.

Before he got the covid, he never he did not experience any restlessness or discomfort regarding his anus, ”the medical team wrote. However, according to doctors, a few weeks after discharge from the hospital, he began to experience anal discomfort about 10 centimeters from the perineal area.

Restless anal syndrome, as called by doctors, can be compared to restless legs syndrome. In Restless Legs Syndrome, those diagnosed with this diagnosis have a huge need to move their legs and sometimes have an urge to crawl or climb with the help of their calves and thighs.

In this case, it meant that the man had a constant need to empty himself. This has been mitigated by the need to do so. As with Restless Legs Syndrome, exercise helped, but at rest the symptoms worsened again. Apart from internal hemorrhoids, colonoscopy revealed nothing to explain these symptoms. Finally, due to the similarity of these conditions, he was diagnosed with restless leg syndrome

Since the man had never had such a problem before, until he received a covid, doctors concluded that these unpleasant symptoms were related to the man. just with Covid-19.

The team, of course, knows that it cannot confirm a causal link on the basis of a single case report. It is possible that the man was simply unlucky, and after overcoming the covid, he also developed restless legs syndrome in his rectum.
