Best Rectal Prolapse Treatment in Surat
What is Rectal Prolapse?
Rectal Prolapse is a medical condition where the rectum (the last part of the large intestine) slips down and protrudes out through the anal opening. Though not life-threatening, it causes discomfort, embarrassment, and lifestyle limitations. Rectal prolapse is more common in women above 50 years of age but can affect anyone.
For the best rectal prolapse treatment in Surat, Star Piles & Colorectal Clinic offers advanced diagnosis and personalized surgical solutions.
Types of Rectal Prolapse:
- Partial or Mucosal Prolapse
Only the inner lining of the rectum comes out. Usually <2 cm with radial folds.
- Full Thickness Rectal Prolapse (Procidentia)
Entire rectal wall protrudes out. Generally 2–5 cm with concentric rings.
- Occult / Internal Intussusception
The rectum collapses internally without protruding through the anus.
Causes of Rectal Prolapse:
- Long-standing constipation and chronic straining.
- Chronic diarrhea.
- Old age and weak pelvic floor muscles.
- Multiple vaginal deliveries or difficult childbirth.
- Chronic cough (e.g., COPD).
- Neurological disorders like spinal injuries or MS.
- Cystic fibrosis in children.
Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse:
- A lump or bulge coming out of the anus.
- Feeling of incomplete bowel evacuation.
- Fecal incontinence or soiling of clothes.
- Constipation and pain during bowel movements.
- Bleeding from ulcerated prolapsed tissue.
- Discomfort or itching around the anus.
Will It Go Away on Its Own?
- In children, it might improve once the cause (e.g., diarrhea or hard stools) is treated.
- In adults, rectal prolapse will not resolve without surgery.
