Rectal prolapse occurs when your rectum, part of your large intestine, slips down inside your anus. It’s caused by a weakening of the muscles that hold it in place. Rectal prolapse may look or feel like hemorrhoids, but unlike hemorrhoids, it doesn’t go away on its own. You'll eventually need surgery to fix it.
Prevention
How can I prevent rectal prolapse from occurring or from recurring after surgery?
Treat chronic bowel disorders . Don’t let chronic constipation or diarrhea persist. Ask your healthcare provider about treatment options, including lifestyle changes and medications.
Strengthen your pelvic floor . Kegel exercises can help keep your pelvic muscles fit and strong. They have been shown to prevent incontinence as well as possible pelvic organ prolapse.

Your rectum is the last segment of your large intestine before your anus. This is where poop prepares to exit your body. When poop arrives in your rectum, it triggers the urge to defecate (poop), and a network of muscles pushes the poop out through your anus. But when rectal prolapse occurs, the rectum itself travels with it, slipping down telescope-style into the anal canal — and sometimes out the other side.
“Prolapse” is the term healthcare providers use to describe any body part that has fallen from its normal position in your body. It usually means that the muscles supporting the part have weakened or deteriorated. Some weakening or deterioration is normal with aging, but extra wear and tear on the muscles can accelerate the process. Childbirth, chronic constipation or diarrhea can affect your rectum.

It most commonly affects people who were assigned female at birth, especially those over the age of 50. Less commonly, it may occur in young children as a result of chronic diarrhea or cystic fibrosis .
It’s estimated to occur in about 2.5 in every 1000 people.
It’s not urgently serious, but it can cause discomfort for some people, and it can lead to possible complications down the road. The most common complications are pooping difficulties, such as fecal incontinence .
Failure of the muscles that hold the rectum in place leads to rectal prolapse. Many things may contribute to this. Some possibilities include:
Rectal prolapse can look different in different people. If you have an internal prolapse, your rectum has begun to drop partway into your anus, but it hasn’t yet come out the other end. If you have a mucosal prolapse, the inside mucous lining of your rectum has turned inside-out and begun to poke out of your anus. External prolapse is when your entire rectum falls out. At first, prolapse may only occur when you poop, but eventually, it's constant.
Rectal prolapse and hemorrhoids can have similar symptoms, and it's not uncommon to mistake one for the other. Hemorrhoids — swollen blood vessels in the anus or rectum — can also cause itching, pain or bleeding. Hemorrhoids can even prolapse — slip out of your anus — and they may look similar to mucosal rectal prolapse if they do. After all, they occur within the same red, fleshy mucous lining.
Both hemorrhoids and rectal prolapse can occur during and after pregnancy, or in conjunction with chronic constipation or diarrhea. While rectal prolapse has many possible causes, hemorrhoids are mainly caused by excessive straining. They are also temporary and will go away on their own after a week or so. Rectal prolapse is chronic and progressive. The symptoms may change, but it won’t go away.
Your healthcare provider will review your medical history, then examine your rectum. They might ask you to activate your muscles as if you were pooping. To confirm the diagnosis or rule out other possible problems, they might use one or several of the following tests:
If you have weak pelvic floor muscles, you may have one or several other conditions in addition to rectal prolapse. Your healthcare provider may want to check for these other conditions so that they can address them all together. Possible secondary conditions include:
Not in adults. If rectal prolapse occurs in your child, it might go away after you treat the cause. For example, if your child has hard stools, diarrhea or a parasite infection, treating these conditions will relieve the stress on their pelvic floor muscles. The muscles will repair themselves as your child continues to grow. If you’re an adult, however, rectal prolapse won’t improve without surgery.
If it's not causing bothersome symptoms, you may be able to live for some time with rectal prolapse, taking care of it at home. Taking care of it means pushing your rectum back inside manually. Healthcare providers recommend that you lie on your side with your knees to your chest and use a wet, warm cloth to gently push your rectum back into place. However, prolapse will continue to worsen over time.
Untreated rectal prolapse can lead to several possible complications, including:
There are several surgical approaches to fixing rectal prolapse. Which procedure you have will depend on the specifics of your condition. For generally healthy adults, the first choice is usually a rectopexy , which is a procedure to repair your rectum through your abdomen. However, some people might not be good candidates for abdominal surgery. In these cases, rectal surgery is another option.
This procedure restores your rectum to its original position in your pelvis. Your surgeon will attach your rectum to the back wall of your pelvis (your sacrum) with permanent stitches. They may also reinforce it with mesh. These will hold your rectum in place long enough for scar tissue to develop, which will hold it in place after that. Rectopexy has a 97% long-term success rate in fixing rectal prolapse.
Depending on the judgment and experience of your surgeon, you may have your rectopexy by either open abdominal surgery or minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery. Open surgery means opening up your abdominal cavity to access your organs. Laparoscopic surgery is done through small “keyhole” incisions, using a small camera, and is sometimes done with the use of a surgical robot. Both procedures are done under general anesthesia .
If you've had a history of chronic constipation, and if this was a contributing factor to your rectal prolapse, your surgeon may suggest a partial bowel resection at the time of your rectopexy. That means removing a section of your colon. Your surgeon can identify the part of your colon where difficulties with constipation tend to occur. Removing the problem section often improves bowel function afterward.
If abdominal surgery isn’t an ideal option for you, your surgeon may approach your rectal prolapse through your anus. Rectal surgery doesn’t always require general anesthesia as abdominal surgery does. Some people can have it with epidural anesthesia . The rectal or “perineal” approach may also be a better choice if you have a very minor prolapse, or if your rectum is stuck on the outside (incarcerated). There are two common procedures:
Altemeier procedure . In this procedure, your surgeon pulls the prolapsed rectum out through your anus and removes it. They may also remove the lower part of the colon (sigmoid colon) if it is involved in the prolapse ( proctosigmoidectomy ). Then they sew the two ends of your large intestine (your remaining colon and your anus) back together. The new end of your colon now becomes your new rectum.
This procedure is less invasive than open abdominal surgery and easier to recover from, but its disadvantage is that prolapse may recur afterward. One reason is that the new rectum made from your colon is not as strong as your original rectum was. Because of this, some surgeons combine the altemeier procedure with a “levatoroplasty” — tightening the pelvic floor muscles by sewing them closer together.
Delorme procedure . If you only have a mucosal prolapse, or a small external prolapse, your surgeon may choose a more minor procedure. The Delorme procedure only removes the prolapsed mucosal lining of your rectum. Your surgeon then folds back the muscle wall of the rectum onto itself and stitches it together inside your anal canal. The double muscle wall helps to reinforce the rectum.
All surgeries come with a low risk of certain general complications, including:
Additional risks associated with rectal prolapse surgery include:
It may not be a major problem at first, but it will continue to get worse over time. If you already have bowel problems, you should probably see your healthcare provider sooner than later. Most of the time, surgery will fix rectal prolapse, but it may return in a small number of people. Surgery also has mixed results for bowel complications. These problems may need additional treatment to be solved.
Rectal prolapse is usually the result of a long, gradual process of muscle deterioration. It’s not a medical emergency, but it can be dismaying when it occurs. Some deterioration is inevitable, but self-care can make a difference. By paying attention to your bowel health and exercising your pelvic floor muscles, you can help keep your pelvic organs in the best condition possible. If prolapse does occur, surgery can fix it.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse a condition in which one or more of the pelvic organs comes down or bulges into or out of the vagina, often with the sensation of ‘something coming down below’. The pelvic organs consist of the uterus, bowel and bladder. Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the network of supporting tissues that holds these organs in their correct positions become weakened.
Pelvic organs can start to fall out of place due to damage of the ligaments and muscles which support the pelvic organs. Damage can arise from:
It may occur on the front wall of the vagina, back wall of the vagina, the uterus or top of the vagina.
Treatment options can be categorised into non-surgical and surgical options. Below is a summary, and you can find more on our prolapse treatments page.
A surgical repair may be offered to women with symptomatic prolapse. The type of treatment recommended will depend on a number of factors including age, previous surgical history, severity and general health. There are two main options, reconstructive surgery and vaginal closure surgery.

Are you sick and tired to of constipation and prolapse problems?
Constipation and prolapse is often the result of a cycle of straining, incomplete emptying and progressive worsening of prolapse symptoms.
These simple steps for diet, timing and bowel emptying technique can help you to break the cycle of constipation and prolapse worsening.
Constipation with a prolapse may be characterized by:
International best selling prolapse exercise guide for women with prolapse and after prolapse surgery.
Prolapse Exercises teaches you how to:
Managing your stool consistency is the first and vital step for improving bowel movements with a prolapse. If your stool if too hard, it will be very difficult to pass. Good stool consistency requires adequate fibre intake (30 grams/day). Some women with constipation and prolapse make the mistake of consuming too much fibre. Too much fibre can overload the gut, a little like blocking the pipes causing constipation to worsen.
Foods that soften the stool include : fresh fruit with skins on, garlic, red capsicum, nuts, popcorn, greens (broccoli, spinach, green beans and cabbage) and spicy foods. Caffeine is a bowel stimulant and prune juice contains naturally occurring laxative.
Fibre supplements can improve stool consistency if your fibre intake is inadequate. Speak with your pharmacist or doctor about stool softeners if you are unable to achieve the correct stool consistency through diet alone.
Ensure that your fluid consumption is adequate. Fluid consumption of 2 litres per day is usually recommended for most individuals. Be mindful of the fact that insoluble fibre (in skins and grains) and some of the bulk forming laxatives commonly available (e.g. Metamucil and psyllium husks) require adequate fluid intake to avoid these obstructing the bowel and worsening constipation and prolapse problems. Fluid intake can be increased simply by including soups, jelly and fruits high in water content into your diet.
Eating stimulates bowel motility. Skipping breakfast is a missed opportunity to stimulate your bowels at the start of the day. Some women find that a warm drink and walking around helps to promote the urge to empty their bowels.
When you first sense the urge to empty your bowels, do so at the earliest convenient time. Never defer the urge to empty your bowels. Some women with constipation and prolapse lose the ability to sense when they need to empty owing to stretching of the rectum. When this happens routine emptying is most important to avoid overstretching the rectum and losing rectal sensation.
Allow sufficient time to empty your bowels, try not to rush. Sometimes the simple action of taking 5-6 slow deep breaths can help to relax the pelvic floor and facilitate bowel emptying. If you find that after a minute or two of relaxed breathing and sitting on the toilet that your bowels don’t move then get up and return to your daily activities. Plan your return when you next feel the urge to empty. Sitting on the toilet for long periods of time durations without an urge increases the likelihood of straining the pelvic floor.
Position for bowel movements with a prolapse :
Technique for bowel movements with a prolapse :
Perform regular daily pelvic floor exercises to improve pelvic floor support. During bowel emptying the pelvic floor muscles provide a firm platform of support for the passage of the stool from the body. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles can improve the firmness of the pelvic floor and enhance bowel emptying. This is particularly important for women who have a long history of straining as their pelvic floor supports are likely to be stretched and weakened.
Manual support can also assist emptying with a prolapse. Some women find that simple hand pressure against the perineum (between the vagina and anus) can provide pelvic support where it is naturally lacking. This technique does not harm the pelvic floor and can be most useful to avoid straining.
Inadequate pelvic floor relaxation and release with bowel emptying is one major cause of constipation and prolapse. The action of straining and drawing the abdomen inwards strongly increases downward pressure on the pelvic floor and actually increases tightening of pelvic floor muscles and closing of the anus. This is the direct opposite to the desired effect of releasing the anal sphincter. Pelvic floor release is promoted by bulging the low abdomen forwards and with relaxed deep breathing.
General exercise helps to stimulate bowel motility. Research has demonstrated that moderate intensity exercise such as cycling increases the movement of wastes through the gut regardless of fluid and dietary input. Try to include regular low impact exercise such as walking or cycling as part of your daily routine. Be mindful of avoiding exercises with the potential to overload and strain the pelvic floor.
If you consistently incorporate these 10 simple steps for better bowel movements into your everyday life, you be more likely to avoid worsening of your constipation and prolapse problems. You may even find that your bowel movements actually improve despite your prolapse!
