Everything you should know
What is rectal prolapse?
Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum loses its normal attachments and telescopes down through the anus. It may start as something that only appears on straining and reduces on its own, and progress to a prolapse that stays out and needs to be pushed back.
Symptoms & causes
Common features are a protruding lump after passing stool, mucus discharge, bleeding, a feeling of incomplete emptying and, over time, leakage or poor bowel control. It is associated with long-term constipation and straining, weak pelvic-floor support and previous childbirth.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually clear on examination, sometimes asking the patient to strain to demonstrate the prolapse. A colonoscopy may be advised to exclude other rectal conditions, and specialised tests assess pelvic-floor function before surgery.
Treatment options
Rectal prolapse is corrected surgically. A laparoscopic (keyhole) rectopexy lifts the rectum and secures it in place, restoring normal anatomy and bowel control with a quicker recovery than open surgery. The exact operation is tailored to the patient's age and fitness.
When should you consult a surgeon?
A lump that protrudes on straining, leakage or recurrent bleeding
A prolapse that cannot be pushed back, severe pain or discolouration
