<unk>  is associated with repetitive sphincter trauma from spasm, recurrent diarrhea, or passage of large/hard stools.
Pathophysiology
Anal crypts are mucosal pockets that lie between the columns of Morgagnia
Formed by the puckering action of the sphincter muscles
Superficial trauma (diarrhea, trauma from hard stool) → breakdown in mucosal lining
Bacteria enter, inflammation extends into lymphoid tissue of the crypts / anal glands
Can lead to anal fissure, anal fistula, perirectal abscesses
