@swilkins1974 and @adlttl123 - Here is something you may want to check out: a Russian and Czech research study published in the journal Urogynecology which assesses the use of high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy and electrostimulation, the type of technology used by UROSPOT:

A Comparative Study on the Effects of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology and Electrostimulation for the Treatment of Pelvic Floor Muscles and Urinary Incontinence in Parous Women: Analysis of Posttreatment Data https://journals.lww.com/fpmrs/fulltext/2021/04000/a_comparative_study_on_the_effects_of.11.aspx

Please note that this study's main aim appears to be addressing urinary incontinence, rather than rectal prolapse, per se. However, pelvic floor muscles, also discussed in this study, do impact rectal prolapse. At this time, it does not appear that a formal study of high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) therapy and electrostimulation specifically for patients with rectal prolapse has yet been conducted.

That study is 4 years old. It worked for me. Initially when it came out it in 2019 it had poor reviews but it has now been improved.
