Rectal Prolapse: What are my options?

My mother is 54-55 yrs old. She has been suffering with severe constipation since 20 years. She used to have Kayam tablets everyday to empty her bowel. After 20 years, she decided to visit a doctor so she can get rid of Kayam tablets, she saw the advertisement of Healing Hands (Dr.Ashwin Porwal) and decided to visit his clinic. He prescribed Herbal Constack powder which is only available in his clinic for a few months. The trust started to build up with the doctor, he suggested us that we can also get rid of this herbal powder for life as my mother has pockets in her intestine, the stool gets collected in those pockets and so she is not able to empty her bowels without any laxative. He suggested us to go for Starr (stapled) surgery and this surgery will staple her pocket and remove the way/obstacle for the stool to pass out. He told us that she will be healed within a month. We went with the Doctor's advice and got her surgery (starr) done. The surgery was a disaster for her, she lost the pressure to expel the stool, she got a weird sensation 24*7 - she can feel her stool inside, coming down/going up, pricking, burning, ball like heavy object inside. She was going through hell and everything was a nightmare for her. We went to different gastroenterologist, surgeons, physicians, homeopathic but all in vain. A doctor in Mumbai suggested another surgery Mesh Rectopexy but this has worsen for her. She is unable to move as she feels with every move, the stool comes down, there is no pressure and she feels sensation all day. Can someone please help ?

@ameriteckhuma, I'm so sorry to hear what your mother has been through. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion about Rectal Prolapse. I did this so you can connect with other members like @leonr @sueblue @mary1234 and @traveling, who may have some experiences to share.

Here is some information about rectal prolapse care at Mayo Clinic https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/rectal-prolapse/care-at-mayo-clinic/mac-20352840

Ameriteckhuma, has your mother had the Rectopexy surgery already or are you deciding whether to have it or not?
