Overview
Common risk factors in the development of rectal prolapse include female gender, obstetric history and hormonal status.
Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of internal rectal prolapse include:[1]
- Female gender
- Obstetrical history (vaginal delivery, previous obstetrical trauma)
- Hormonal status (onset of menopause)
- Systemic connective tissue diseases (dysfunction of the elastic fibers of the rectal wall)
- Increase intra-abdominal pressure such as straining, constipation or chronic coughing (elements that favor the onset of internal rectal prolapse)
