A member asked:
Is "telescoping of the low rectum" the same as or different than rectal prolapse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Technically rectal prolapse refers when the rectum comes all the way out, this initially starts as internal "prolapse"" which is like a telescoping of the bowel. Hope this helps.
