Prolapsed rectum !

A man has suffered rectal prolapses from when he was a boy," wrote the hospital. "But he did not take note of it over a long period of time, and did not want to cultivate good toilet habits. He also had the modern-day habit of sitting on the toilet for a long time while playing with his phone.

The hospital's doctor pointed out: "It's because of the long-term habit of sitting on the toilet for long periods of time that created great pressure on the abdomen, eventually resulting in rectal prolapses that progressively got worse (over the years)."

According to the article, the hospital received the emergency case at 1am in recent weeks. The patient had a pained look on his face and was leaning on his friends as he was unable to walk by himself.

Doctors performed inspections and found that he had a "tail" measuring about 20cm long emerging from his buttocks, that turned out to be his prolapsed rectum.

The doctors assessed the situation and found that it was not a critical situation, but warded the man as the organ could be subject to necrosis or perforation if exposed for too long.

Doctor  who specialises in surgery for rectal prolapses, ran a CT scan on the man's abdominal area to eliminate the possibility of him dying from loss of blood or necrosis before a team of doctors performed an operation on the man.

"Although it looked very serious, the entire surgery process was very smooth, and the man no longer had a 'tail' after the surgery," said the hospital.

The man's relatives arrived at the hospital after the surgery, and the man could walk slowly just two days after the operation.

He went home with his family ahead of reunion dinner for Chinese New Year.

The Dr. said people of all ages may suffer rectal prolapse, but children and the elderly are more susceptible to it.

According to a website, rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum - the lower end of the colon, located just above the anus - drops downwards and turns inside out.

In the early stage, the rectum stays inside the body, but as the condition worsens, it may protrude out through the anus.
 
There is often weakness of the anal muscles, and this may result in leakage of stool or mucus. Rectal prolapse is more common in women than men.

Several factors contribute to the development of rectal prolapse. Repeated straining at stools or stresses during childbirth plays a role. With ageing, there is weakening of the tissues that support the rectum and weakening of the muscles of the anus. In some cases, neurological problems, such as spinal cord injury or spinal cord disease, can lead to prolapse. In most cases, however, no single cause can be identified.

The Professor gave the following recommendations to prevent rectal prolapses:
1. Those who suffer from constipation should eat more fruit and vegetables and avoid straining too hard while passing motion. They should also avoid reading books or using their phones while on the toilet.
2. Those who suffer from diarrhoea or enteritis (inflammation of the intestine) should seek treatment promptly, especially for young children.
3. Elderly people who may have weak sphincter muscles should perform Kegel exercises twice a day.
4. Seek treatment early for illnesses that exert pressure on the abdomen, such as whooping cough or emphysema, a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
