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]

[1] The exact treatment depends on the severity of the symptoms, the severity/type of SRUS, and whether rectal prolapse is present or ...
This injectable material has been used for treatment of grade III to IV prolapsed internal hemorrhoids, where it gives effects similar to hemorrhoidectomy. It has also been used for treatment of rectal prolapse and rectocele. [8] The material causes a local inflammatory reaction, followed by sclerosis and retraction of tissues.
This examination may show anal fissures, prolapsed hemorrhoids, internal intussusception, rectal prolapse, or other anorectal lesions. Patients with occult rectal prolapse may show heperemia and edema of the anterior (front) rectal wall, colitis cystica profunda or solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (blood, mucus, area of erythema and ulceration). [38]
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]
