What Is The Rectal Prolapse Treatment?

 A physical exam will be performed, which will include a rectal examination. The clinician may ask the patient to bear down while sitting on the toilet to check for prolapse.

The following tests may be performed:

• Colonoscopy to confirm the diagnosis

• Whether you have rectum bleeding, do a blood test to see if you have anaemia.

Treatment

If you notice a rectal prolapse, contact your healthcare practitioner right away.

Prolapse may be addressed at home in certain instances. Follow the guidelines provided by your provider. The rectum must be physically pulled back within. To push the mass back through the anal hole, a soft, warm, moist cloth is used on provide mild pressure to it. Before applying pressure, the individual should lay on one side in a knee-chest posture. This posture enables gravity to assist in repositioning the rectum.

In most cases, immediate surgery is not required. In youngsters, addressing the underlying source of the problem often resolves the issue. Laxatives, for example, may be helpful if the reason is straining due to dry stools. Surgery may be required if the prolapse persists.

Rectal prolapse in adults can only be treated with a surgery that strengthens the weakening anal sphincter and pelvic muscles.
