Rectal prolapse is when the rectum falls out of the anus. It happens when the pelvic floor muscles and supporting tissues that ordinarily hold the rectum in place get weaker. Older people, women who have just given birth, and people who have chronic constipation or have to strain for a long time during bowel motions are more likely to have this problem. ????
Some common signs are a noticeable bulge or protrusion from the anus, pain, mucous discharge, bleeding, and trouble managing bowel movements. Some patients may feel like they haven't fully emptied their bowels or have faecal incontinence. Initially, the rectum may only prolapse when you strain, but it can happen during normal activities like standing or walking. Early identification is vital to keep symptoms from getting worse and to avoid problems. ????
The treatment depends on how bad it is. Dietary adjustments, pelvic floor exercises, and treating constipation can help with mild cases. But to fix a complete rectal prolapse and get the anatomy back to normal, surgery is usually needed. Surgery strengthens and moves the rectum, which makes it easier to control bowel movements and improves quality of life. Timely therapy makes sure that symptoms go away and that they don't come back or cause problems.
