Understanding Rectal Prolapse:
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum, the lower part of the large intestine, protrudes outside the anus. This can happen partially or completely, leading to discomfort, pain, and difficulty with bowel movements. There are several types of rectal prolapse, including partial, complete, and internal prolapse, each with its own set of symptoms and treatment options.
Symptoms:
Rectal prolapse may present with various symptoms, such as:
- A sensation of a bulge or protrusion from the anus
- Difficulty with bowel movements
- Incontinence (inability to control bowel movements)
- Anal pain or discomfort
- Bleeding from the rectum
