A member asked:
Is it necessary to have bowel prolapse surgery? what are the side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always : if the symptoms of prolapse are manageable then surgery is not necessary. The decision to operate depends on many factors and therefore a consultation with general or colorectal surgeon will be required to make that decision.
