Thank you for sharing your story. I don’t know if you are aware of this but your prolapse being lodged against your internal anal sphincter could cause damage. I let mine go so long that it has occurred so now I have a different issue. Just wanted to share this with you.

Hi ejoy, I appreciate the heads up. So far, the rectocele just seems to be a pouch. As long as I manage my IBS-C, I avoid rectocele problems. That being said, it is hard to manage my IBS-C and my gut's hypersensitivity from food and normal life stresses. So far, I am getting it mostly right. I know prolapse usually gets worse over time. Again, thanks for letting me know what to look out for. Good luck to you and wishing you comfort and health.
