Overview
Patients with rectal prolapse usually have rectal mass or bulge in physical examination.
Physical Examination
Rectal prolapse can be diagnosed in outpatient clinics by history taking and inspection of the protruded rectum.[1] Physical examination of patients with rectal prolapse is usually remarkable for a large rectal mass or bulge that may or may not spontaneously reduce at the completion of a bowel movement or straining.[2]
