Rectal Prolapse Treatment in Pune

What is Rectal Prolapse?

Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum, the final section of the large intestine, loses its normal attachments inside the body and protrudes through the anus. This condition can worsen over time, leading to severe complications and difficulty in bowel control if left untreated.

Symptoms of Rectal Prolapse

  • Visible protrusion of tissue from the anus
  • Mucus discharge or bleeding
  • A sensation of incomplete evacuation
  • Anal pain or itching
  • Difficulty controlling bowel movements

Causes of Rectal Prolapse

Common causes include:

  • Chronic constipation or diarrhea
  • Weak pelvic floor muscles
  • Nerve damage due to childbirth or old age
  • Previous anorectal surgeries
  • Straining during bowel movements

Difference Between Rectal Prolapse and Piles

While both conditions affect the anal region, they are not the same:

  • Piles (Hemorrhoids): Swollen blood vessels inside or around the anus.
  • Rectal Prolapse: The rectum itself protrudes outside the anus.

Dr. Patil ensures accurate diagnosis to recommend the best treatment, as piles are usually treated with laser or stapler surgery, while rectal prolapse may require STARR Surgery or other rectopexy procedures.

Treatment Options

Dr. Atul Patil offers both conservative and surgical treatments:

  • Dietary and lifestyle modification for mild cases.
  • Pelvic floor strengthening exercises.
  • Rectopexy Surgery – to restore the rectum’s normal position.
  • STARR Surgery – advanced minimally invasive technique for internal prolapse.
