Is the bulge still there now? It could be rectal prolapse, but it's probably a hemorrhoid. I'd call your doctor and ask what's going on. He/she might want to examine you again. What were they testing you for when you had the barium?

yeah um well i just had a BM and before i did i talked to my doctor and she said i might be having a rectum relapse or sumthin so i shouldnt strain or ne thin and i should just like put that "skin" back in gently, i really thought i was gonna die or something cuz ever since i was alittle kid i was afraid of pooping out my intestines

If you have rectal prolapse, it does mean a little part of your intestines are coming out. Your rectum is part of your intestines..it is at the very end. If your doctor told you to push it back in, she probably doesn't think it's too serious. If it continues and causes problems like you aren't able to keep clean, or you're in a lot of pain, you would possibly need surgery to correct the problem. Don't be scared, just gently push it back in and try not to strain when you have a bowel movement. And don't be embarrassed, all of us on here talk about things that we are embarrassed about, but we are here to help each other.
