Prolapsed rectum or hemorrhoids?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have had something for " years". Would only come out when I had a BM and looked like a baseball! Without an exam, the doctor said it was a prolapsed rectum, based on what I told him.I had no trouble until February 2016. I had a hernia surgery, and was told no constipation so I ended up straining.

Now , I have pain down there, a few drops of blood, and something falls out of my anus when i stand. I am praying its hemorrhoids and not a prolapse! ( If thats what I Have) I also have an autoimmune disease and am a slow heal. My regular GP even told me that I had big old purple hems and I needed them removed. I am having surgery in March for something else so thia will have to wait. . I wish there was an actual picture of some of you that have grade 3 or 4 prolapses. If anyone wants to share any pictures or information, I would APPRECIATE it!

    They did not apparently like me sending a google link. Bottom line is that there are plenty of prolapse images in varying stages to be found on google.

      thank you anyway for your support. I have seen the images online, but couldn't tell a lot about them. After I Joined this forum, there were some people who post actual images and they have helped me more than anything.My hems/prolapse, whatever I have, had slipped in and out all day yesterday, and I had gotten myself all upset. I shouldn't have posted what I did.
