Hi i also have a prolapsed rectum.I have never had anal sex,so i dont know if this is the cause for this condition or not.My doctor said a very long natural labour birth delivery will most times be responsible for this problem.But i think it is inherited,by having poor pelvic muscles.My brother and auntie show symptons which are evident of this problem.I have had this problem now for about 4 years.I has got increasingly worse over the years.I found by washing my bottom and inserting my finger, to clean out any remaining bm,helped to stop the leakage and itchy bottom that followed.I suppose this could have made my condition worse,i dont know.Now i have bad pain every day,after i have a bm.My prolapse only comes out about 1 inch and goes back in again,by it self.I was talking to a lady who said her prolapse came out 3 inches,she was operated on by a private surgeon who done her repair from her back passage.She said her surgeon tore her bladder while doing the operation, and had to put in 100 stitches to her bladder,which has now caused her to suffer with bladder incontinence, since her operation 13 months ago.I think it also is best to have the tummy op done,but if there is also hemorrhoids present they might have to operate through the back passage.But i will look in to this well after i have my colonostpy next month when i know more.I feel you would be wise to avoid anal sex from now on,even after surgery to fix it all up.Best wishes from bess01.
