It is literally defined as the expulsion of the last part of the intestine when patients strain.
After damage to the structures at the base of the abdomen, such as increasing intra-abdominal pressure or difficult birth
It is the protrusion of the inner layer or the full layer of the intestine.
It is more common in women than in men because the structural defect is more common.
Rectal prolapse (intestinal prolapse) causes
Constipation
Difficult birth, multiple birth
Intestinal infections
Congenital diseases that affect the healing process
Diseases that increase abdominal pressure due to persistent cough
Wrong and long-term toilet habits
Neurological diseases that cause muscle paralysis in the anal region
Obstruction to exit in the intestine Diseases that cause long-term straining
Diagnosis is usually made during physical examination. The patient is asked to squat and strain, and the diagnosis is usually made at this time. Defecography, pelvic MRI and endoanal USG are helpful in making the diagnosis in borderline patients.
The primary principle in treatment is to reveal the cause and treat it accordingly.
Basically two treatment principles.
The first principle is to remove the sagging intestine and join the two ends of the intestine.
The second is to hang the sagging part and attach it to an area in the abdomen
with abdominal operations.
If the disease is not treated, it can cause severe complications such as strangulation of the prolapsed intestine, gangrene and
perforation. For this reason, it is possible to get rid of complications that may occur in the future with rapid diagnosis, early surgery and
effective surgical intervention.
