Rectal Prolapse: What are my options?

I had rectal prolapse surgery in 2023. Afterwards, I have suffered with chronic constipation, incomplete bowel movements, having to make multiple trips to the bathroom to defecate, and even some incontinence issues. When I am able to relieve myself, I have pain around my anus for hours afterwards. I wish I’d never done this.

Judy I feel so bad for you so I had to reach out. I relate to multiple bathroom trips and pain around anus during and after a visit. I have internal/external hemorrhoids and the blood is so red and bright I am very overwhelmed by this. I hope you can get some relief even though it might seem impossible. I hope we can talk again.

@judyreed1953 I'm so sorry your surgery didn't work. Can I ask what type of surgery you had and where it took place. I am seeing a surgeon in March for rectal prolapse surgery and also have bladder prolapse. I am very scared that I may end up worse off and yet my experience that I have now with incomplete evacuation and bloating and gas makes me want to do the surgery. I just don't know which way to go. Leave it alone and go on like this or try to fix it. I'm trying to find the best surgeon possible.
