RECTAL PROLAPSE
Rectal prolapse - when part of the rectum slides outside the body; sometimes through the anus. There are three types of rectal prolapse:
- Partial prolapse - when the rectal lining moves inside the colon and occasionally comes out of the body.
- Complete prolapse - when the whole rectal lining slides out of place and can be outside the body when a person stands, walks, or all of the time.
- Internal prolapse – when the wall of the rectum slides over itself much like a telescope. This type of prolapsed usually stays inside the body and is most common in infants and children.
There are many effective treatments for rectal prolapse and Dr. Senter and Dr. Allen can help determine the best course of action for you. If you or a loved one currently suffers from one of these diseases, or you think you might be a candidate for diagnosis, contact the physicians at Fort Worth Colon and Rectal Surgery Associates today at 817.250.5900, or click here to request an appointment.
