Rectal prolapse that doesn't recede back inside.

They could give you sedation or saddle block. You don't necessarily have to get anesthesia where you are intubated. Ask!

@catherine1290 Thank you I think my primary mentioned that at some point but I had forgotten. Perhaps it will be an option. Did you have it done?

A colorectal dr recommended surgery for my rectal prolapse, however I chose not to do it unless it is absolutely necessary. Mine happens almost every time I have bm. If the bm is a large amt of stool it comes out ALOT ; sometimes if bm is not too much the rectum comes out a bit less. I try to relax, not tense up and slowly push it back in while using toilet paper or wet wipes. I have IBS-C and a torturous colon….been dealing with constipation my whole life.
Feel free to ask me questions if you want to. Glad to help you if I can.

@jolam I haven't had prolapse repair but I have been sedated when I had vascular surgery and stent placement. Also I has saddle block twice during labor. Never felt a thing with either one.

@catherine1290 I heard the saddle block shot hurts like hell. But I've had a spinal fluid tap and that was bad for a brief period of time.

@anniewee I do the same but mine is a full prolapse that is out all the time. So at times when things are stuck it's like having contractions until it gets relieved. Sometimes for hours. That is what causes the extreme pain for me. I use stool softners, laxatives, fiber, prunes and other fibrous foods. But I also have chronic pancreatitis that affects my diet as well.

Have you tried back passage irrigation? I have a linear prolapse and was sent to a colorectal surgeon by my gastroenterologist.The surgeon advised this irrigation.It is a coloplast system and works very well, preventing a lot of pushing etc.which can make the prolapse worse.

@cardigan no I haven't heard of it. I'll look it up. The contractions occur spontaneously often before I can even sit. I don't need to push at all because as I said its a full prolapse. Often I dont even know I've released anything. That's pretty frustrating as well.. I appreciate your information so thank you for taking the time.

@jolam They shouldn't hurt if done correctly. Sedation is the better way to go. Have you ever had a colonoscopy? That type of sedation is what they use. Ask your doctor about it.

I wonder would pelvic floor exercises be any good.I was put in touch with a pelvic floor phisio.
