Prolapsed rectum: living with it versus surgery

Hi ejoy, I have the same question as you…. Soon I will see a specialist… Thanks to my naturopath my prolapse returns inside most of the time…. I know what it’s like to sometimes manually take out stools…. The risks that I read about the surgery…. Well they freak me out! Incontinence only when stressed…. Not too many surprises anymore… However my life is centered on the proximity of a toilet….. when I go out… I know where all the nice ones are in town….
So I’ll be back after meeting with the specialist….. glad to have found this resource. Be well

Hello @laurette04 and welcome to Mayo Connect. I see that you had a comment for @ejoy. In the meantime, you might find the following discussion helpful to you before meeting with the surgeon,
--Keys to a Successful Doctor's Appointment

In the first post there is a video that you might find helpful.

I hope that this information will help you approach your appointment with a bit more confidence and a list of questions and concerns that you can address with the doctor.

I look forward to hearing back from you. Is your appointment coming up in the near future?
