Rectal prolapse happens when portion or the entire rectum glides out of place and sticks out of the anus, turning the rectum back-to-front. The rectum is the concluding section of the large intestine before the anus (the opening via which stool passes out of the body). Rectal prolapse is an uncomfortable ailment that necessitates treatment to fix.
Causes
Rectal prolapse can arise from the following conditions:
- Constipation
- Cystic fibrosis, MS, paralysis
- Malnutrition and malabsorption (celiac disease as a specimen)
- Pinworms (enterobiasis)
- Any previous injury to the anus or pelvic area
- Whipworm infection (trichuriasis)
- Anal intercourse – particularly if long-term or aggressive
- Childbirth
If your rectum has prolapsed, you will possibly see a pink or reddish-colored mass of tissue spiking out from the opening of the anus, mainly after a bowel movement. The lining of the rectal tissue might be noticeable and might bleed marginally.
Treatment
Treating the underlying reasons of rectal prolapse typically cures the problem. In otherwise healthy ageing patients who have recurrent rectal prolapse, operation is sometimes used to overhaul physical problems that make prolapse more likely to befall. However, the operation can lead to scar tissue and adhesions, which can taper the rectal canal (anal stenos is) and inhibit the rectal and pelvic muscles relaxing during a bowel movement. These two complications can then cause trouble having a bowel movement, or bring about hemorrhoids or rectal or anal fissures (tears) from repetitive straining.
