What Is Rectal Prolapse, and How Can It Be Treated? - #14536
I recently heard about rectal prolapse, and I want to understand what causes it, what symptoms to watch for, and how it can be treated. Some people say that it only happens to older adults, but I am unsure whether younger individuals or people with chronic constipation are also at risk. Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum slips out of its normal position, causing symptoms like pain, discomfort, difficulty passing stool, and a visible bulging of rectal tissue. Common causes include chronic constipation, weak pelvic floor muscles, previous surgeries, or nerve damage. Many doctors recommend dietary changes, pelvic floor exercises, and, in severe cases, surgery to correct it. However, I want to know whether natural remedies like fiber-rich diets or biofeedback therapy can help in managing symptoms. For those who have experienced rectal prolapse, what treatments worked best for relieving discomfort and preventing further complications? Would love insights into when surgery is necessary and whether lifestyle changes can help in mild cases.
