Rectal prolapse occurs when the rectum partially or completely slips out of its normal position and protrudes through the anus. This condition can cause discomfort, bleeding, mucus discharge, incontinence, and difficulty with bowel movements. Dr. Asif Iqbal, an experienced gastrointestinal surgeon, provides expert evaluation and treatment for rectal prolapse, helping patients restore normal bowel function and improve quality of life.

Diagnosis and Evaluation

Diagnosis involves a thorough physical examination, review of medical history, and sometimes imaging studies such as defecography or colonoscopy to assess rectal structure and function. Proper evaluation ensures the most effective treatment approach tailored to each patient’s condition. Dr. Asif Iqbal emphasizes a comprehensive and personalized assessment for optimal outcomes.

Treatment Options

Mild cases may benefit from lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, and pelvic floor exercises. Moderate to severe prolapse often requires surgical correction. Dr. Asif Iqbal specializes in minimally invasive laparoscopic and perineal surgical techniques, which restore rectal anatomy, reduce symptoms, shorten recovery time, and provide long-term relief for patients suffering from rectal prolapse.
