Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse happens when part of the rectum slips down and may protrude through the anus. It can cause discomfort, leakage, or bleeding, and often needs surgical repair.
About rectal prolapse
Rectal prolapse happens when the rectum drops from its normal position and may extend outside the anus. Symptoms can include a visible bulge, rectal pressure, mucus drainage, bleeding, leakage, or difficulty with bowel movements.
Treatment depends on the severity of the prolapse and your overall health. In many cases, Dr. Talbert recommends surgery to correct the prolapse and improve symptoms.
