A member asked:
My proctologist said i had a prominent anal sphincter. he said it meant that the musclutare was more prominent seen on the outside of anus than the inside. im confused and concerned about this. is this normal? can it cause future problems?

This doesn't sound abnormal, and surely the proctologist would have told you if he considered it important. But if you remain uncertain, ask him.
