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.
Hi, I am new to this discussion group and new to this "condition" - and am looking for support, information, guidance, other women I can discuss this with . . . only last night did I realize that, I'm pretty sure, I am experiencing "rectal prolapse" and am feeling really scared and alone. Thanks for reading ~ annekai
If this means you sometimes have fecal leakage I have the same thing but haven’t been diagnosed yet. Having a colonoscopy soon (my 4th) and will hopefully find out why I’m having problems. I also have IBS so not a good combination.

@yanie1020, not yet i don't have fecal leakage which i'm hoping i can avoid by addressing this early. i too may have IBS as over the past several months, my bowel movement frequency has
been further and further apart. how, may i ask, was it determined that you have IBS? thx for posting to this message board. i truly appreciate the companionship.

Just all the right symptoms and it runs in my family. I think part of my problem is not having a gallbladder. I love fatty foods, like everyone, but they cause all kinds of digestion problems when you don't have a gallbladder to regulate the amount of bile being released. I go from a period of diarrhea to constipation in a matter of days to weeks. Some days I don't go anywhere outside my home. I'll know for sure after I have my upcoming colonoscopy because it will rule out the more serious diseases.

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?

I had it and had the surgery! It’s so wonderful how the body actually works correctly!

thanks so much for your post here. Which type of surgery did you have?

Awww, that sounds like a tough situation!!! What happened to your gallbladder?
I had gallstones and it had to be removed because I was having pain. My whole family has this condition. None of us have our gallbladder.
