Prolapsed rectum

Has any one had a problem with a Prolapsed rectum? I know it's TMI but I would like to know if my RNY had anything to do with this. Thanks everyone

I had never heard of this before, but now that you posted about it I looked it up. I may have to go see my primary to see if I have this issue. I do seem to have some of the symptoms.

Mine happened long before RNY. It is a simple operation to fix it. I was in the hospital overnight, but it could have been done outpatient.

I had this long before surgery and it's more common in those who are obese so most likely caused by the weight and not the weight loss surgery.

long term constipation can contribute to a prolapse. many rny'ers have constipation ??

feel better soon!

One of my younger sisters had the condition. She has always struggled with constipation. She only became overweight the last 7-8 years. She has not had weight loss surgery. I don't think is weighs enough to qualify.

Prolapsed rectum usually is from long term constipation problems. The associated straining can cause the rectum to prolapse. It's a pretty common problem.
