A member asked:

Question, what are the exact symptoms of constipation when you have prolapse?

6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Prolapse : With prolapse, the bladder or uterus or rectum falls or bulges into the vagina. If the rectum isn't falling constipation is the same as usual - a hard bowel movement that is difficult to push out. If you have rectal prolapse then the stool bulges up in the vagina and gets stuck there, and sometimes people have to press down in the vagina to get that hard stool to come out.

Same as without ++: Prolapse is when the end portion of an organ protrudes beyond the normal boundaries of that organ: most common are rectal voth sexes), urinary bladder and vaginal (female). In all, a weakness in the muscular walls of these 'canals' leads to prolapse (multiple pregnancies, straining much of life to move bowels r causes). Sx: feeling a protrusion beyond anus, loss of muscle tone, loss of control.
