Fecal incontinence2
- Rectal prolapse may occur without any symptoms, but depending upon the nature of the prolapse there may be mucous discharge (mucus coming from the anus), rectal bleeding, degrees of fecal incontinence, and obstructed defecation symptoms. (wikipedia.org)
- But without treatment, a prolapse may grow larger and result in permanent issues with fecal incontinence. (everydayhealth.com)
Mucosal18
- Rectal prolapse starts as a mucosal extrusion from the mucocutaneous junction, which may eventually progress to full-thickness prolapse. (medscape.com)
- Many sources differentiate between internal rectal intussusception and mucosal prolapse, implying that the former is a full thickness prolapse of rectal wall. (wikipedia.org)
- However, a publication by the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons stated that internal rectal intussusception involved the mucosal and submucosal layers separating from the underlying muscularis mucosa layer attachments, resulting in the separated portion of rectal lining "sliding" down. (wikipedia.org)
- This may signify that authors use the terms internal rectal prolapse and internal mucosal prolapse to describe the same phenomena. (wikipedia.org)
- Mucosal prolapse (partial rectal mucosal prolapse) refers to prolapse of the loosening of the submucosal attachments to the muscularis propria of the distal rectummucosal layer of the rectal wall. (wikipedia.org)
- Most sources define mucosal prolapse as an external, segmental prolapse which is easily confused with prolapsed (3rd or 4th degree) hemorrhoids (piles). (wikipedia.org)
- However, both internal mucosal prolapse (see below) and circumferential mucosal prolapse are described by some. (wikipedia.org)
- Others do not consider mucosal prolapse a true form of rectal prolapse. (wikipedia.org)
- Internal mucosal prolapse (rectal internal mucosal prolapse, RIMP) refers to prolapse of the mucosal layer of the rectal wall which does not protrude externally. (wikipedia.org)
- The term "mucosal hemorrhoidal prolapse" is also used. (wikipedia.org)
- Mucosal prolapse syndrome (MPS) is recognized by some. (wikipedia.org)
- Photograph of severe rectal prolapse with clinically significant edema and mucosal ulceration. (medscape.com)
- Excessive pushing during defecation induces mucosal injury of the anterior rectal wall, which may lead to a solitary rectal ulcer. (medscape.com)
- In false or mucosal prolapse, the mucosa shows radial folds at the anal junction, whereas a full-thickness or complete prolapse has circular folds (see the images below). (medscape.com)

Anus and is visible2
- External (complete) rectal prolapse (rectal procidentia, full thickness rectal prolapse, external rectal prolapse) is a full thickness, circumferential, true intussusception of the rectal wall which protrudes from the anus and is visible externally. (wikipedia.org)
- Complete rectal prolapse or external rectal prolapse is the prolapse of rectal wall to a degree where it protrudes out of the anus and is visible outside. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
Ulcer2
- Solitary rectal ulcer syndrome (SRUS, solitary rectal ulcer, SRU) occurs with internal rectal intussusception and is part of the spectrum of rectal prolapse conditions. (wikipedia.org)
- It includes solitary rectal ulcer syndrome, rectal prolapse, proctitis cystica profunda, and inflammatory polyps. (wikipedia.org)
Intussusception7
- Internal rectal intussusception (occult rectal prolapse, internal procidentia) can be defined as a funnel shaped infolding of the upper rectal (or lower sigmoid) wall that can occur during defecation. (wikipedia.org)
- It describes ulceration of the rectal lining caused by repeated frictional damage as the internal intussusception is forced into the anal canal during straining. (wikipedia.org)
- SRUS can be considered a consequence of internal intussusception, which can be demonstrated in 94% of cases. (wikipedia.org)
- Rectal prolapse and internal rectal intussusception has been classified according to the size of the prolapsed section of rectum, a function of rectal mobility from the sacrum and infolding of the rectum. (wikipedia.org)
- Digital examination can also distinguish prolapse from rectal intussusception. (medscape.com)
- In the case of prolapsed intussusception, a finger can be passed into the space between the anal wall and the protruding mass. (medscape.com)

- One classification of rectal prolapse divides the entity into true prolapse (protrusion of all layers of the rectum) and procidentia (herniation of only the mucosa). (medscape.com)
- A rectal prolapse occurs when walls of the rectum have prolapsed to such a degree that they protrude out of the anus and are visible outside the body. (wikipedia.org)
- Complete rectal prolapse (CRP) is defined as the circumferential and full-thickness protrusion of the rectum out of the anal verge. (thieme-connect.de)
- Rectal prolapse occurs when part or all of the rectum slides out of place and sticks out of the anus, turning the rectum inside out. (everydayhealth.com)

Spontaneously reduce2
- [ 3 ] The prolapse can spontaneously reduce or may require digital reduction. (medscape.com)
- Because most prolapses spontaneously reduce before arrival for evaluation, a brief examination of the patient in a sitting or squatting position and observation for recurrence of prolapse is recommended. (medscape.com)
Defecation2
- Straining during defecation predisposes children with constipation, diarrhea, or parasitosis to prolapse, as does childhood laxative usage. (medscape.com)
- Prolapse initially occurs with defecation and straining, but as the pelvic floor musculature becomes more lax, it can recur with the mildest straining, in upright position, or even spontaneously at rest. (medscape.com)
Chronic2
- However, without proper treatment, it can become a lifestyle limiting chronic condition. (medscape.com)
- A number of factors, such as chronic constipation, weak pelvic muscles, and older age, can increase your risk of developing rectal prolapse. (everydayhealth.com)
Benign1
- [ 1 ] Although, less common in Western societies, pediatric rectal prolapse is a relatively common benign disorder in children. (medscape.com)
Hemorrhoids1

Circumference1
- A prolapsed rectal polyp appears as a plum-colored mass that does not involve the entire anal circumference. (medscape.com)
Symptoms1
- Dietary adjustments to reduce constipation and straining may help to some extent especially in patients unfit for surgery but prolapse symptoms are difficult to control with conservative measures alone. (manchestergeneralandcolorectalsurgery.co.uk)
Bowel1
- however, the parents (or patient) may need to manually reduce the prolapsed bowel. (medscape.com)
Constipation1

Wall1
- However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on whether the prolapsed section is visible externally, and whether the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved. (wikipedia.org)
Entity1
- In children, rectal prolapse should always be considered a presenting sign of an underlying condition, and not a disease entity unto itself. (medscape.com)
