@marysue5 I just joined this Connect group and just resding about others who have rectal prolapse is so helpful. I am 72 yrs old, always had constipation problems….this rectal prolaspe started slowly about 15 yrs ago. Now it happens every day when I have a bm. I can push it back in, but it is a big buldge. Surgery was recommended to me 2 yrs ago when I finally consulted a dr…and I agree with you when you said “ I think you are taking a big risk”. I am managing right now although it
is always a big concern of mine. I just don’t want to have any surgery unless it is absolutely necessary. One day at a time….thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts.
