Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum (the last part of the large intestine) slips down and protrudes outside the anus. It may appear as a reddish bulge during bowel movements and can gradually worsen over time.
Rectal prolapse requires proper medical evaluation and, in most cases, surgical treatment.
