| | P - Prolapse - Anal, Rectal and Colon |
 | | It is usually necessary to reduce the prolapse (return the tissue to its normal position inside the body) and then to place sutures around the rectum to hold it in place while treating whatever underlying problem can be identified at the same time. | | | I am not sure of the overall incidence of these problems but anal prolapse is probably the most common and in our practice rectal prolapse and colonic intussusception appear to occur about equally. | | | There are several steps to take in controlling the problem of rectal prolapse and if any step is missed or if an incorrect conclusion is drawn at any stage in the process it can encourage relapse. |

| | Prolapse |
| | Prolapse is a common condition and it occurs when the structures designed to keep organs in place weaken or stretch, causing them literally to 'prolapse'. | | | Prolapse literally means 'to fall' or 'slip out of place', and the term can relate to different organs in the body. | | | Unfortunately the biggest risk of vaginal prolapse is after a hysterectomy (where the womb is removed), sometimes years later, because the vagina may have become weakened during surgery. |

| | Weakness of the anal sphincter muscle is often associated with rectal prolapse at this stage and may result in leakage of stool or mucus. | | | Success depends on a number of factors, including the status of a patient's anal sphincter muscle before surgery, whether the prolapse is internal or external, the overall condition of the patient and surgical method used. | | | To demonstrate the prolapse, patients may be asked to "strain" as if having a bowel movement or to sit on the commode and "strain" prior to examination. |

| | First Aid For Prolapse |
| | Prolapse occurs when a woman's pelvic system (a complex network of muscles, tendons, bones, and fascia) changes it shape to the point where it can no longer adequately support the pelvic organs. | | | Dealing with a health issue such as prolapse can be the most frightening experience of your life, and it is easy to turn to someone you trust to make the difficult decisions for you. | | | Many women have lived for most of their lives with varying degrees of prolapse, and it was only within the last century and a half that surgery was even considered an option to correct it. |

| | Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Articles - Uterine Prolapse Treated Without Hysterectomy |
| | Almost always with cystocele or rectocele, there is also some degree of vaginal vault prolapse and the procedures to suspend the vagina so it does not prolapse in the future are almost as extensive as the hysterectomy as far as surgical and anesthesia time, as well as the risks of surgical complications or injury. | | | The biggest reason for recurrence of prolapse problems is that all of the anatomical defects present were not recognized or not evident at the time of the original surgery. | | | Thus they are "more comfortable" in their surgical experience with removing the uterus at the time of prolapse surgery. |

| | Prolapse is brought on by straining to have bowel movements, chronic laxative use, or severe diarrhea. | | | Different surgical techniques are used, but all involve anchoring the rectum to other parts of the body, and using plastic mesh to reinforce and support the rectum. | | | Symptoms of rectal prolapse include discharge of mucus or blood, pain during bowel movements, and inability to control bowel movements ( fecal incontinence). |
