A member asked:

I am 21 and have internal rectal prolapse, should i consider getting surgery? would it fix the issue, what could go wrong ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rectal prolapse: Most rectal prolapses cause some external protrusion through the anus and don't require surgery. An internal prolapse is more complicated and requires evaluation and advice by a colorectal surgeon. Avoidance of constipation and avoiding straining for a bowel movement using stool softeners may not be enough to prevent symptoms or further damage.
