A colorectal surgeon can do a rectopexy to repair the prolapse. Often can be done as a laparoscopic surgery. Usually takes a few weeks or more for recovery.

They don’t warn you how messy & gross recovery is. They warned me that my “muscles will be loose” which I didn’t realize translated to: bring adult diapers when you leave the hospital. I wish they had been more up-front, so I could have been better prepared. It took over a year to get back to normal. Do your exercises!
