Medical Conditions - Rectal Prolapse

Rectal prolapse is seen as a reddish mass jutting out of the anus. It is essentially a part of the large intestine slipping out through the rectum when somebody strains a lot while passing stools. Sometimes, the rectal prolapse may bleed spontaneously too. The mass may get sucked in sometimes, but it stays outside the anal opening for some people and it may need surgical correction.
