What happens if you have anal prolapse

Rectal prolapse is a very common disease in daily life. Suffering from rectal prolapse will cause unbearable pain for patients, especially those with severe rectal prolapse. When going to the toilet, a little force will cause rectal prolapse, and sometimes there is no way to retract it, which makes people very painful. It has a great impact on the patient's daily life. However, most people do not pay attention to it in the early stages of the disease, which results in the disease becoming more and more serious.

What happens if anal prolapse is not treated?

Early stage of rectal prolapse: constipation, irregular bowel movements, a constant feeling of rectal distension and incomplete bowel movements. During bowel movements, a mass may come out but retract on its own.

Aggravating constipation: When rectal prolapse causes damage to the intestinal mucosa and ulcers occur, it can also cause bleeding and diarrhea. If the prolapsed tumor cannot retract, inflammation and swelling are likely to occur, which will cause pain and further aggravate constipation.

The patient experiences unbearable dull pain: the prolapsed tissue repeatedly descends and retracts in the rectum, causing congestion and edema of the mucosa, and a large amount of mucus and bloody substances often flow out of the anus. Patients often feel heaviness and dragging in the pelvic and lumbosacral regions, and dull pain in the posterior thigh.

Other complications: For patients with extreme rectal prolapse, long-term prolapse will cause anal nerve damage, resulting in anal incontinence, ulcers, perianal infection, rectal bleeding, and the risk of edema, stenosis and necrosis of the prolapsed intestinal segment.

Although rectal prolapse is not a serious disease and many people think it is insignificant, it can be very fatal when it occurs. We often hear the phrase "a small symptom can lead to a big one". Although a minor illness is small, it can still develop into a serious illness if it is not treated. Therefore, if you find that you are sick, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment.

Many patients often blindly choose drug treatments. Most of these drugs are irritating and often do great harm to the body. Secondly, some patients blindly choose some folk remedies and other treatments, not knowing that most of these folk remedies have no scientific basis and are very harmful to the body after use. Therefore, for hemorrhoids, patients must go to a regular professional hospital for examination and treatment.

According to surveys, rectal prolapse is related to the patient's bad living habits or human development and other factors. Long-term constipation, chronic diarrhea, chronic cough and other factors can all cause rectal prolapse. Children with poor development, malnourished patients, and the elderly and frail are prone to weak anal levator muscles and pelvic floor fascia.

Rectal prolapse seems to be a small problem, but many people may not pay attention to it in their work and life, which may cause many diseases. If anal prolapse is not treated for a long time, it will bring great inconvenience to oneself, seriously affecting one's life, work and study, and causing a lot of trouble to the family. Therefore, we must take every disease seriously. Once anal prolapse occurs, we should actively go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment. We should not ignore it or delay treatment for a long time.
