Rectal Prolapse








Rectal prolapse normally describes a medical condition wherein the walls of the rectum protrude through the anus and hence become visible outside the body


Rectal prolapse is caused by the weakening of the ligaments and muscles that hold the rectum in place. In most people, the anal sphincter is weak. Rectal prolapse may be associated with the following conditions: advanced age, long term constipation, long term straining during defecation, receiving anal sex
