A member asked:
Can rectal prolapse be cured without a surgery. i'm a male 24 years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The connective tissue fibers that should hold the rectum in place in the pelvis have broken or you would not have prolapse. No other therapy can replace these. There are several different surgical options. An experienced colon and rectal surgeon can review your case and explain the options.
