Rectum Prolapse
What is Rectal Prolapse?
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum slips out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. It can be partial or complete and often worsens over time.
Causes of Rectal Prolapse
🔹 Chronic constipation or diarrhea
🔹 Weak pelvic floor muscles (aging, childbirth)
🔹 Long-term straining during bowel movements
🔹 Neurological disorders affecting bowel control
Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse
✅ Bulging mass from the anus, especially after defecation
✅ Difficulty in controlling stools (fecal incontinence)
✅ Pain, discomfort & bleeding during bowel movements
✅ Mucus discharge & feeling of incomplete evacuation
If left untreated, rectal prolapse can lead to serious complications.
