Rectal prolapse does not usually affect life expectancy, and patients with severe rectal prolapse can be treated with surgery. Rectal prolapse is usually caused by increased negative pressure, dysplasia and other factors that cause part or all of the rectal wall to move downward, causing the rectal mucosa to prolapse from the anus. It may lead to anal discomfort, incomplete bowel movement and other uncomfortable symptoms, and generally does not affect the life expectancy, if not treated in time, bleeding may occur. For patients with mild symptoms, no special treatment is needed and regular observation is sufficient. For patients with more serious conditions, surgical methods such as rectal suspension and fixation can be adopted for treatment. Patients with rectal prolapse should avoid coughing violently in daily life, in order to prevent increasing abdominal pressure and affecting the recovery of the condition. Patients should go to the hospital for examination once rectal prolapse occurs.
