Overview
- Hemorrhage occurs frequently if the prolapsed rectum is left unreduced. If rectal prolapse is persistent for a long time, urological impairments may be associated.
- Common complications of rectal prolapse include fecal incontinence, constipation and rectal incarceration or even strangulation
Natural History
Allowing rectal prolapse to continue untreated beyond 4 years may lead to higher rates of subsequent rectal prolapse recurrence, secondary to a weakened pelvic floor. [1] In addition, Hemorrhage occurs frequently if the prolapsed rectum is left unreduced. If rectal prolapse is persistent for a long time, urological impairments (bladder stones or urethral stricture) may be associated.[2]
Complications
- Common complications of rectal prolapse include:[1][3][4]
- Fecal incontinence (50-75%)
- Constipation (25-50%)
- Rectal incarceration or even strangulation
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent/good/poor, and the 1/5/10-year mortality/survival rate of patients with [disease name] is approximately [#]%.
- Depending on the extent of the [tumor/disease progression/etc.] at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. However, the prognosis is generally regarded as poor/good/excellent.
- The presence of [characteristic of disease] is associated with a particularly [good/poor] prognosis among patients with [disease/malignancy].
- [Subtype of disease/malignancy] is associated with the most favorable prognosis.
- The prognosis varies with the [characteristic] of tumor; [subtype of disease/malignancy] have the most favorable prognosis.
