Women over 50 are six times more likely to develop rectal prolapse than men. It is rare in men over 45 and in women under 20. [21] When males are affected, they tend to be young and report significant bowel function symptoms, especially obstructed defecation, [5] or have a predisposing disorder (e.g., congenital anal atresia). [10]
The most common signs and symptoms are bleeding, which can vary from minor to severe, rectal prolapse and incomplete evacuation (35%-76% of cases). [4] According to one report, constipation is present in about 55% of cases, but diarrhea is present in 20%–40% of cases. [1] Reported symptoms are: Hematochezia (lower gastrointestinal bleeding).
Vaginal pessaries can immediately relieve prolapse and prolapse-related symptoms. [7] A high fiber diet, consisting of 25–30 grams of fiber daily, as well as increased water intake (typically 6–8 glasses daily), help to avoid constipation and straining with bowel movements, and can relieve symptoms of rectocele.

The procedure reduces constipation and fecal incontinence in patients with rectal prolapse or rectal intussusception, and has a low rate of complications and recurrence. [64] The procedure is able to correct multiple anatomical defects associated with vaginal and rectal prolapse, as well as improving function in terms of continence and defecation.

For women, there is a 20.5% risk for having a surgical intervention related to stress urinary incontinence. The ...
Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System (POP-Q) Stage Description 0: No prolapse anterior and posterior points are all −3 cm, and C or D is between −TVL and −(TVL−2) cm. 1: The criteria for stage 0 are not met, and the most distal prolapse is more than 1 cm above the level of the hymen (less than −1 cm). 2
About 40% of patients with rectal prolapse or rectal intussusception also have enterocele. [4] In some cases an enterocele may prolapse externally along with an external rectal prolapse. [ 11 ] It is not clear in such situations if the enterocele caused or aggravated the rectal prolapse, or if the pouch of Douglas is merely pulled down by the ...
Symptoms include abdominal pain which may come and go, vomiting, abdominal bloating, and bloody stool. [1] It often results in a small bowel obstruction.
