Anal prolapse - what does this mean
Anal prolapse occurs when the rectal walls become weak and are no longer able to support the rectum in its normal position. this leads to the rectum slipping down and protruding out of the anus, causing discomfort and other symptoms.
What happens during the disease - anal prolapse
Anal prolapse occurs when the rectal walls become weak or loose, allowing the rectum to protrude through the anus. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as childbirth, straining during bowel movements, chronic constipation, and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles due to age or obesity. other contributing factors include damage to the anal sphincter muscles, rectal tumors, and certain medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or crohn's disease.
