What is Rectal Prolapse?

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum, the last portion of the large intestine, protrudes from the anus. It can range from a partial prolapse, where the rectum only protrudes during bowel movements, to a complete prolapse, where it remains outside the body.

  • Visible protrusion of the rectum from the anus
  • Pain or discomfort in the anal area
  • Bowel incontinence or leakage
  • Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
  • Bleeding from the rectum

Rectal prolapse can lead to complications like chronic pain, ulcers or sores on the protruded rectum, and fecal incontinence. It can significantly impact a person's quality of life.
