Overview

Patients with rectal prolapse usually have rectal mass, skin excoriation or irritation of anus in physical examination.

Physical Examination

Rectal prolapse can be diagnosed in outpatient clinics by history taking and inspection of the protruded rectum.^[1]

Appearance of the Patient:

Patients with rectal prolapse usually appear good

Vital Signs:

Normal vital signs

Skin:

Skin examination: Normal

HEENT:

HEENT examination: Normal

Lungs:

Pulmonary examination: Normal

Heart:
