Rectal Prolapse

Understanding Rectal Prolapse

 

Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum (the last part of the large intestine) protrudes through the anus. This condition can cause discomfort and may lead to complications if not treated. Rectal prolapse is more common in older adults and can be associated with chronic constipation, weakened pelvic muscles, or previous surgery.

Common Causes of Rectal Prolapse

 

  • Chronic Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can weaken the pelvic muscles.
  • Age: Age-related weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.
  • Previous Surgery: Pelvic or abdominal surgery can contribute to muscle weakness.
  • Neurological Disorders: Conditions like spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.

Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse

 

  • Visible protrusion of the rectum through the anus
  • Pain or discomfort in the anal area
  • Bleeding or mucus discharge from the rectum
  • Fecal incontinence
  • Sensation of incomplete bowel movement
 

Personalized Treatment Plans

 

Treatment plans are tailored based on the severity of the prolapse:
  • Conservative Treatments: Dietary changes, pelvic floor exercises, and stool softeners.
  • Surgical Repair: Procedures to correct the prolapse and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
