Prolapsed rectum: living with it versus surgery

If you are willing to share, I would like to know what symptoms you had daily prior to your surgery that prompted you to consult a colorectal Dr in the beginning. I am so hesitant to get myself involved in all this as I have a redundant & torturous colon as well. Even prepping for a colonoscopy is a major awful experience for me…..every time!
Thank you so much.

@anniewee Sure, I can share. I had something that would bulge out when I urinated. And also had a mucous anal discharge when I exercised. I thought I had a hemorrhoid and treated it as such. Nothing helped. The bulge grew larger so I finally went to the doctor. He (Dr Kevin Kasten, Atrium Health, Charlotte, NC) said to just live with it. This was the worst advice ever because anal sphincters can be damaged.
I am sorry to hear you have other issues which I know nothing about but I suggest you do tons of research and find the best doctor for the job. Please don’t allow some local yocal do it because of convenience.
I wish you the best in your journey. Sending you healing energy. Joy
