What are the Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse?

Symptoms of rectal prolapse may include:

1. A feeling of fullness or pressure in the rectum

2. Difficulty controlling bowel movements

3. The appearance of rectal tissue outside of the anus

4. Pain or discomfort in the rectal area

5. Blood in the stool

6. Constipation or diarrhea

Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum (the last part of the large intestine) protrudes through the anus. It can occur in people of all ages, but is more common in older adults and in people who have chronic constipation or a history of straining during bowel movements.

The main symptom of rectal prolapse is the appearance of rectal tissue outside of the anus. This may be accompanied by a feeling of fullness or pressure in the rectum, difficulty controlling bowel movements, and pain or discomfort in the rectal area. Some people with rectal prolapse may also experience constipation or diarrhea, and may notice blood in their stool.
