Description
Rectal Prolapse is a disease of the Rectum.
When the Rectum protrudes out from the Anus, it is Rectal Prolapse.
Rectum is the end point of the Intestines. It stores the Feces. It passes the feces to the Anal canal and then out of the body through the Anus.
In Rectal Prolapse the rectum is visible outside the Body. It causes leakage of the mucus or stool.
If only inner lining of the mucus membrane sags from the Anus it is Partial Prolapse.
If the whole rectum protrudes out from the Anus it is Complete Rectal Prolapse.
