Overview
Common causes of rectal prolapse include rectal denervation, kinking of the redundant loop of sigmoid colon and loss of rectal compliance.
Causes
Causes of rectal prolapse include:[1]
- Rectal denervation
- Perineal nerve injury (due to descent of the pelvic floor, viginal delivery and excessive straining during defection)
- Kinking of the redundant loop of sigmoid colon at the junction between the sigmoid colon and the rectum
- Loss of rectal compliance as a result of mesh placement
- Altered colonic motility
