I can feel something protruding after I have a bowel movement, it usually goes back in afterwards. I have consulted a doctor, its difficult to recreate a scenario, in which the prolapse can be observed by a doctor. The doctor thinks, it might be a prolapse of the rectal mucosa. Whatever it is, he says, surgery is risky and nothing much can be done about it.

It doesn't usually bothers me, but it is annoying, because it feels like there is stool still stuck to the anus and it itches really bad sometimes.

what can I do?

    hi numair, i don't think you can decide what to do until you have the full facts and since you don't have all of them how can you think what to do? ask for more details

    Are you constipated? Do you have to strain when having a bowel movement? These are the 2 main reasons for this prolapse. If your answer is yes to either of these then you need to try and soften up your stools by introducing more fibre into your diet or try taking a mild laxative like Fybogel.

    If you are in UK nothing will be done until it really bothers you because it cant be pushed back.
