A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. [2] However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
External rectal prolapse may give symptoms of obstructed defecation syndrome, fecal incontinence, or both, [17] [6] Other symptoms are bloody or mucous rectal discharge. [6] Relative indications are: Internal rectal prolapse (rectal intussusception), if it causes symptoms. [20] Anterior rectocele, if large and causing symptoms. [5]
Cul-de-sac hernias may be classified as rectal, septal, or vaginal depending on the structure they herniate into. Rectal cul-de-sac hernias herniate into an internal or external rectal prolapse.

Sigmoidocele is a prolapse of peritoneum that contains a section of sigmoid colon. In females, these prolapses usually descend between the rectum and the vagina. They are most likely to be seen during straining. Rectal prolapse/Internal rectal intussusception: The rectum may be seen to prolapse, whether internally or externally.
Sigmoidocele may be internal if it is only detectable on defecography, or external if it detectable without imaging and associated with a rectocele or rectal prolapse. [2] It is a type of posterior compartment prolapse. [4] Sigmoidocele may be classified according to size relative to the pubococcygeal line. [2] [note 1]
