How is rectal prolapse diagnosed?
Your doctor will detect rectal prolapse by asking you queries about your symptoms and previous medical complications and surgeries. He or she will also perform a physical examination, which embraces testing the rectum for loose tissue and to find out how strappingly the anal sphincter contracts. You might require tests to exclude other conditions. For instance, you might require a sigmoidoscopy, a colonoscopy, or a barium enema to search for tumors, sores (ulcers), or atypically narrow regions in the large intestine. Or a kid might require a sweat test to check for cystic fibrosis if prolapse has befallen more than once or the reason is not clear.
