Rectal prolapse

Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum, the last part of the large intestine, slips outside the anus. This condition can cause symptoms like a visible bulge from the anus, difficulty controlling bowel movements, and discomfort. It often results from factors such as chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, or weakened pelvic muscles due to aging or childbirth. Treatment options range from dietary changes and pelvic floor exercises to surgical interventions in more severe cases.
