What is “prolapse”?

The common term prolapse refers to the disease of something coming out of the intestinal cavity or anal canal to the outside of the anus, including internal hemorrhoid prolapse, rectal prolapse, anal canal prolapse, rectal polyp prolapse, anal papillary hypertrophy prolapse and other kinds of patients, the general public can not make a careful distinction, collectively called it “prolapse”. In fact, most people refer to the prolapse of the nucleus of internal hemorrhoids and mixed hemorrhoids, which is a more common symptom of prolapse and should be strictly called “prolapsed hemorrhoids” or “prolapsed hemorrhoids”. The prolapsed internal hemorrhoid is a hypertrophic mass in the shape of a plum or ring with bleeding and a depressed normal mucosa between the nuclei. In addition, there is another kind of prolapse, medically known as rectal prolapse, which is often confused with the above-mentioned internal hemorrhoid prolapse, but is actually two completely different diseases. The prolapse of rectal prolapse is rectal, with obvious longitudinal grooves and rectal rings, white or light red in color, no bleeding, and the sphincter muscle can be felt to be relaxed during finger palpation. Once the symptoms of prolapse are present, early medical attention should be sought.
