About Rectal Prolapse

Rectal prolapse is a condition where the rectum — the last portion of the large intestine — slips outside the anal opening, often causing discomfort, bleeding, and difficulty controlling bowel movements.

While this can occur at any age, it is more common in elderly individuals, women post-childbirth, and patients with chronic constipation. For residents of Pune, expert care from a specialist like Dr. Atul Patil, an experienced Coloproctologist in Pune, can make all the difference in recovery and long-term comfort.
