Prolapse

Rectal prolapse is a condition where a part of the rectum (the last portion of the large intestine) slips out through the anus. It can cause discomfort, difficulty in bowel movements, and may affect daily life if not treated properly.

Rectal Prolapse

What Causes Rectal Prolapse?

  • Chronic constipation and straining during bowel movements
  • Weakness of pelvic floor muscles
  • Long-term diarrhea
  • Age-related weakening of tissues

Common Symptoms

  • Protrusion of tissue through the anus
  • Discomfort or pain in the anal region
  • Difficulty controlling bowel movements
  • Mucus discharge or bleeding

When Should You Seek Treatment?

You should consult a doctor if:

  • You notice any protruding tissue from the anus
  • There is discomfort, bleeding, or discharge
  • Symptoms interfere with daily activities
  • There is difficulty in controlling bowel movements

Early diagnosis helps prevent worsening of the condition and improves treatment outcomes.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse. Mild cases may be managed conservatively, while more advanced cases often require surgical correction.

  • Lifestyle & Medication: Dietary changes, fiber intake, and bowel management
  • Surgical Treatment: Procedures to reposition and secure the rectum
