Rectal prolapse can get worse and show a long term effect on your health if it doesn’t get the right treatment on time. People who are suffering from this condition experience discomfort while doing daily activities, hygiene challenges, a constant sensation of pressure, and many more.
Understanding its long term effects is important so that you can manage this disease in its early stage. Over time, it may lead to complications like chronic constipation or incontinence, affecting physical and emotional well-being.
Understanding Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse is the situation when the last portion of the large intestine called the rectum protrudes from its normal place into the anus. It often results from weak muscles or ligaments holding the rectum in its proper place. Chronic constipation, frequent straining during bowel movement, and chronic diarrhea are common causes.
This problem also often develops with aging due to weakened muscles in old age. Other factors which are history of pelvic surgery, neurological conditions like spinal cord injuries, or conditions causing increased abdominal pressure, such as chronic coughing, may contribute.
Long Term Risks Associated with Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse can get worse and can cause long term effects in your body if you are not taking serious medication help. Some of the long term effects includes:
- Chronic Discomfort: You would be continually experiencing an aching or irritated rectal area, particularly when sitting or standing for long periods of time.
- Fecal Incontinence: Most patients become incontinent of stool. A very serious quality-of-life issue that needs to be addressed.
- Strangulation of the Prolapse: When the blood supply to the prolapsed rectum is cut off it results in death of several tissues which is a very serious complication.
- Infection: External exposure of the rectum leads to increased risks of infections which may worsen symptoms.
- Psychological Factor: Long-term presence of symptoms raises anxiety, lack of confidence and depression in patients.
