Main Article Content
Keywords
incontinence, constipation, surgical management, rectal prolapse
Abstract
Background: Rectal prolapse is an uncommon pelvic floor disorder of unknown etiology, predominantly affecting older women but also seen in females of all ages, necessitating significant lifestyle adjustments.
Clinical Presentation: Symptoms include constipation, sensation of a colonic mass, and fecal incontinence, prompting diagnostic examination via physical assessment or defecography.
Diagnostic Evaluation: Various tests such as MRI, cystography, colonic transit studies, anal manometry, pudendal nerve motor terminal latency, and colonoscopy may be utilized based on individual presentation, aiding in confirming diagnosis.
Treatment: Surgical intervention, typically abdominal, is the primary therapeutic approach due to its higher success rates. However, emphasis on patient education and medical management is essential to alleviate symptoms and enhance quality of life, regardless of the necessity for surgery.
