Your rectum is the lower portion of your colon, where stool forms. If the rectum dribs out of its normal place within the body and shoves out of the anal opening, the disorder is called rectal prolapse. In the primary stages, a prolapse might happen only after a bowel movement. The protuberant rectum might then slide back through the anal canal on its own. Over time, however, the prolapse might become more severe and could necessitate surgery. Rectal prolapse is thought to be instigated by circumferential intussusception of the upper rectum and recto sigmoid colon.
Causes
Rectal prolapse is generally triggered by a weakening of the muscles that support the rectum.
Symptoms

- Feeling a protuberance after coughing, sneezing, or lifting
- Having mucous discharge in your stool
- Pain and rectal bleeding
- Fecal incontinence
- Having to shove the prolapse back into the anus by hand
