Rectal Prolapse

📖What is Rectal Prolapse?

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which part or all of the wall of the rectum slips down and protrudes through the anus, occurring when the tissues and muscles that normally hold the rectum in place become weakened or stretched. It ranges from a partial prolapse involving only the inner lining to a complete, full-thickness prolapse of the entire rectal wall. It is more common in older women, particularly those with a history of chronic straining, multiple childbirths, or weakened pelvic floor muscles, though it can also occur in children due to different underlying causes.
