What is Rectal Prolapse ?

Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum, the lower part of the large intestine, slips out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. This condition can cause significant discomfort, pain, and embarrassment, affecting your daily life. Rectal prolapse is more common in older adults, but it can also occur in younger individuals.

Diagnosis at Wings Hospital

This typically involves a detailed medical history review, physical examination, and specialized tests like colonoscopy, digital rectal exam, or defecography to assess the extent and cause of the prolapse.

Treatment Options

  • Non-Surgical Treatments: In cases of mild prolapse, Dr. Vikram Lotwala may recommend lifestyle changes such as dietary modifications, pelvic floor exercises, and the use of stool softeners to reduce straining during bowel movements.
