A member asked:

Small part of anus poking out? lower abdominal pain now on both sides. just took laxatives a while ago. hernia, hemorrhoids, or something else?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prolapse: It is not uncommon for a portion of the anal canal to protrude. This is due to relaxation of the rectal mucosa sliding down as a prolapse. Occassionally this is not protrusion but becomes pronounced and a marked degree of prolapse requiring surgical repair.
