Non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type is a rare congenital disorder in which the rectum and urethra are abnormally connected. This type of malformation is characterized by a fistula (abnormal connection) between the rectum and the urethra, which is located in the prostate. This type of malformation can cause urinary and fecal incontinence, as well as recurrent urinary tract infections. Treatment typically involves surgical repair of the fistula and reconstruction of the rectum and urethra.

Symptoms of Non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type may include:

-Difficulty passing stool
-Frequent urinary tract infections
-Foul-smelling urine
-Painful urination
-Enlarged prostate
-Abdominal swelling
-Blood in the urine
-Frequent constipation
-Difficulty controlling bowel movements
-Abnormal positioning of the anus
-Abnormal positioning of the rectum
-Abnormal positioning of the urethra

Non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors include mutations in the genes that control the development of the rectum, bladder, and urethra. Environmental factors include maternal smoking, maternal diabetes, and maternal obesity.

1. Surgery: The primary treatment for non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type is surgical repair. The goal of the surgery is to separate the rectum from the urethra and to create a normal anal opening. The surgery is usually done in the first few weeks of life.

2. Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent or treat infection.

3. Follow-up Care: After surgery, regular follow-up care is important to monitor for any complications or recurrence of the malformation.

4. Bowel Management: Bowel management techniques may be recommended to help manage constipation and fecal incontinence. These techniques may include dietary changes, medications, and/or enemas.

1. Genetic factors: Certain genetic syndromes, such as VACTERL association, have been associated with an increased risk of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type.

2. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain environmental toxins, such as certain pesticides, has been linked to an increased risk of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type.

3. Maternal factors: Maternal smoking, alcohol consumption, and diabetes have been associated with an increased risk of non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type.

4. Fetal factors: Premature birth, low birth weight, and intrauterine growth restriction have been

There is no cure for non-syndromic anorectal malformation with rectourethral fistula, prostatic type. Treatment typically involves surgical repair of the fistula and reconstruction of the rectum and bladder. Medications may be prescribed to help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition.
