| | 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. |

| | The condition undergoes progression: beginning with prolapsation during bowel movements, through Valsalva movements (sneezing and so forth), then through daily activities such as walking until finally it may become chronic and cease to retract. | | | Pharmaceutically, the condition may only be treated secondarily (by treating deficate) so as to avoid further straining. | | | Rectal prolapse normally describes a medical condition wherein the walls of the rectum protrude through the anus and hence become visible outside the body. |
