Rectal prolapse befalls when the tissue that lines the rectum tumbles down into or branches out of the anal opening. Rectal prolapse can begin protruding only during bowel movements; then it might protrude during sneezes or other stomach contractions; then move tobulging during activities like walking, and finally reach chronic protrusion, where the rectum fails to retract even a bit. Rectal prolapse can arise from the following conditions:
- Constipation
- Cystic fibrosis, MS, paralysis
- Malnourishment
- Pinworms (enterobiasis)
- Prior injury to the anus or pelvic area
- Whip worm infection
- Anal intercourse, particularly if long-standing or aggressive
- Childbirth
If your rectum has prolapsed, you will likely see a pink or reddish-colored mass of tissue spiking out from the opening of the anus, chiefly after a bowel movement. The lining of the rectal tissue might be observable and might bleed marginally.
Natural Ayurvedic Treatment for Rectal Prolapse
Treating the underlying reasons of rectal prolapse typically cures the problem. In otherwise healthy ageing patients who have recurrent rectal prolapse, surgery is at times used to repair physical problems that make prolapse more likely to happen. However, the surgery can lead to scar tissue and adhesions, which can taper the rectal canal (anal stenos is) and restrict the rectal and pelvic muscles relaxing during a bowel movement. These two glitches can then cause trouble having a bowel movement, or lead to hemorrhoids or rectal or anal fissures (tears) from recurrent straining. In such a situation, it is advisable to opt for natural Ayurvedic remedies for rectal prolapse treatment.
