Patient's question:
Today when the child was urinating, it might have taken too long, and he told me, "Mom, there's something coming out of my butt." I looked and saw a meaty ball. I didn't know what was going on. Some people said it was hemorrhoids, while others said it was rectal prolapse. Who knows what the symptoms of rectal prolapse are?Doctor's answer:
General symptoms of rectal prolapse, if it is in the early stage, may include a red, wet, and soft lump sticking to the anus during a bowel movement. The lump will quickly retract back into the anus after defecation. If it recurs repeatedly, the lump may not be able to retract immediately and may need to be pushed back in with the help of hands. In more severe cases, the lump may also prolapse during coughing or squatting, in addition to during a bowel movement.
