Rectal Prolapse Treatment

What Is Rectal Prolapse? 

Rectal prolapse happens if the tissues holding the rectum get weak, so it slips down and  can poke out the anus. At first, this bulge might show up just while pooping and go back  by itself. Over time, though, it could stay outside more often. Then you might need to  push it back in yourself. If things worsen, a doctor might suggest an operation. 

Rectal prolapse might happen to anyone, yet it’s often found in elderly folks – especially  new moms or those dealing with ongoing bowel issues due to loose support around the  pelvis. 

Types of Rectal Prolapse

Rectal prolapse comes in various forms depending on how bad it is or how far it extends 

• Partial (Mucosal) Rectal Prolapse

Just the inside layer of the rectum pushes  out through the opening when going to the bathroom, most often while pooping. You  tend to notice this type at first signs. 

• Complete (Full-Thickness) Rectal Prolapse

The full depth of the bowel wall  pushes out through the back passage. It’s usually the worst type of prolapse, quite  obvious, so doctors tend to suggest surgery. 

• Internal Rectal Prolapse (Intussusception)

This kind involves the rectum  folding inward without coming out through the anus. Still, it can lead to ongoing trouble  with bowel movements or hard stools. Some notice they never fully empty their gut after  going. 

Causes of Rectal Prolapse

• Long-term poop troubles, along with heavy pushing 
• Loose pelvic floor or weak back passage muscles 
• Aging, but muscles get weaker over time 
• Pregnancy and childbirth 
• Chronic diarrhea 
• Neurological disorders 
• Earlier operations on the pelvis or around the anus. 

Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse

➢ A noticeable lump sticking out of the back passage 

➢ Trouble managing bowel motions (stool leakage) 

➢ Bleeding from the back passage or a slimy fluid coming out 

➢ Pain when you’re on the toilet or going number two 

➢ That sense when your gut doesn’t fully empty 

If things don’t get better – or actually get worse – see a doctor soon.

Rectal Prolapse Treatment Options 

• Non-Surgical Treatment (Early or Mild Cases) 

➢ Fiber-rich meals – also drink more water 

➢ Stool softeners help ease bowel movements, so you don’t have to push hard ➢ Pelvic floor workouts that build strength 

➢ Skip long hours on your seat or pushing too hard when active – try moving more  instead 

Though these approaches can ease symptoms, they usually do not provide a  permanent solution for rectal prolapse. 

• Advanced & Surgical Treatment for Rectal Prolapse: 

Surgery’s often the best fix for serious or repeated rectal prolapse, offering a clear  solution when other options fall short. 

• Minimally Invasive & Surgical Procedures 

Based on how bad the prolapse is, a person’s age, or their general condition, an  operation might go through the belly or the area around the back passage. Newer  methods that use small cuts can shift the bowel back into place, boost tissue strength,  while also lowering the chances it comes back.
