A member asked:
My 9 yr old has had a rectal prolapse for 2.5 years. seen several surgeons and get different answers. is 2.5 yrs too long for him to have this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: He should see a pediatric GI to rule out things like CF and Ehlers Danlos and then have a regimen to prevent prolapse. The longer, the harder to resolve.
