Rectal Prolapse - What Is It And How To Cure It?

Rectal prolapse is actually a faze when internal hemorrhoids are so enlarged that they slip out of anal canal. This happens early in development of hemorrhoid condition (stage two), and this is the time when internal hemorrhoids become painful.

Rectal prolapse is not painful by itself, but spasm of the sphincter complex around the hemorrhoids causes pain. In early faze of this condition, hemorrhoids can retreat back by themselves, and this is often the reason why some people don't react at this stage, but let hemorrhoids progress to faze three or even four, when it is much more difficult to treat them.

In fourth faze hemorrhoids does not retreat back in anal canal nor can they be pushed back, which leads to a most painful condition associated with internal hemorrhoids called incarceration or strangulation.

This can lead to a Hemorrhoid Thrombosis a very painful condition which can often be treated only with surgery.
