Symptoms

If you have rectal prolapse, you may notice a reddish mass that comes out of the anus, often while straining during a bowel movement. The mass may slip back inside the anus, or it may remain visible.

Other symptoms may include:

• The inability to control bowel movements (fecal incontinence)
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Leaking blood or mucus from the rectum
• Feeling that your rectum isn't empty after a bowel movement
