Rectal prolapse is characterized by the protrusion of all or part of the rectum through the anus. This condition may involve the entire thickness of the rectal wall or just the mucous layer and is often confused with hemorrhoids due to the similarity of symptoms. It is essential to see a trained professional who knows the differences between these conditions to diagnose and treat them correctly.
Rectal prolapse can affect people of any age, but certain factors increase the risk. It is often caused by weakening or atrophy of the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments that support the rectum and attach it to the pelvic bones.
Older women, particularly those who have undergone hysterectomies or multiple deliveries, as well as those suffering from chronic constipation or neurological disorders, are most affected by this condition, as these factors can contribute to the weakening of pelvic support structures.
