3. Rectal Prolapse • Rectal prolapse is when part of the rectum protrudes from the anus. The rectum is the last part of the large intestine and is where feces is stored before being passed. • Prolapse occurs when the rectum becomes unattached inside the body and comes out through the anus, effectively turning itself inside out.

4. Types • Full-thickness: The full thickness of the wall of the rectum sticks out through the anus. This is the most common type of rectal prolapse. There can be a partial or complete protrusion. Full-thickness Rectal Prolapse

5. Types • Mucosal: Only the lining of the anus (known as the mucosa) sticks out through the anus. Mucosal Rectal Prolapse

6. Types • Internal: The rectum folds in on itself but does not stick out through the anus. Internal Rectal Prolapse

7. Causes It can be triggered by a variety of things including: • pregnancy • constipation or chronic straining • diarrhea — present in around 15 percent of people • conditions that make Rectal prolapse is more common in adults than children, and it is particularly prevalent in women aged 50 years or older, who are six times more likely to be affected than men. Most women who have rectal prolapse are in their 60s, while most men are aged 40 or younger. In the case of older women, rectal prolapse will often occur at the same time as a prolapsed uterus or bladder. This is because of general weakness in the pelvic floor muscles

8. Symptoms • The symptoms of rectal prolapse include the feeling of a bulge or the appearance of reddish-colored mass that extends outside the anus. At first, this can occur during or after bowel movements and is a temporary condition. However, over time – because of an ordinary amount of standing and walking – the end of the rectum may even extend out of the anal canal spontaneously, and may need to be pushed back up into the anus by hand. • Other symptoms of rectal prolapse include pain in the anus and rectum and bleeding from the inner lining of the rectum. These are rarely life-threatening symptoms. • Fecal incontinence is another symptom. Fecal incontinence refers to leakage of mucus, blood or stool from the anus. This occurs as a result of the rectum stretching the anal muscle. Symptoms change as the rectal prolapse itself progresses.

9. Treatment • In the first instance, it is important to treat constipation. This might be achieved by eating plenty of foods that are high in fiber, such as fruit, vegetables, and wholegrains. • Bulking laxatives, which help a person have a bowel movement without straining, may also be recommended, as well as drinking plenty of water. • If that does not work, then surgery may be advised. The type of surgery will depend on a number of factors: • type of prolapse • the person’s age • other medical problems • whether the person is constipated or not

10. Although a rectal prolapse is not often defined as an emergency medical problem, it can be uncomfortable, embarrassing, and have a significant adverse effect on the person’s mental and physical life. • Therefore it is essential for anyone who has noticed any signs or symptoms of rectal prolapse to see a doctor as soon as possible. • The longer a person puts off receiving treatment for rectal prolapse the greater chance of permanent problems, such as incontinence and nerve damage. When to see a doctor
