How to deal with rectal prolapse after childbirth

It is easy for postpartum women to suffer from rectal prolapse. The reason for this disease is mainly caused during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the body is relatively heavy and inconvenient to move. You may sit for a long time and don't like to exercise, which can easily cause varicose veins. In addition, the uterus presses on the surrounding tissues and organs, which often causes constipation and other conditions. These are all reasons that aggravate and induce postpartum rectal prolapse. After rectal prolapse occurs, the postpartum woman must emphasize nourishment and treatment.

How to deal with rectal prolapse after childbirth

What should I do if I have anal prolapse after childbirth? PPH is here to help. Dr. Shan Jingxian from Linyi Anorectal Specialist Hospital said that it is very easy for mothers to suffer from anal prolapse after childbirth. The best treatment for rectal prolapse is PPH minimally invasive surgery, which uses a special circular stapler inserted into the rectum through the anus, circularly resecting the mucosa and submucosal tissue of the intestinal wall at the lower end of the rectum, and performing anastomosis at the same time as the resection, so that the prolapsed anal cushions are lifted up, restoring the normal anatomical position of the anal cushions, playing a "suspension" role, and thus curing the rectal prolapse once and for all.

What are the advantages of PPH minimally invasive surgery for postpartum anal prolapse?

1. Painless: The operation is performed in a pain-free area. It only removes the prolapsed anus without damaging other tissues and organs. The patient does not feel any pain. 2. No complications: There will be no complications such as constipation, bleeding, edema, anal incontinence, etc. after the operation, which completely solves the patient's worries. 3. Wide range of applications: It is suitable for both mild and severe anal prolapse, especially for women with postpartum anal prolapse, and is very popular among them.

Treatment:

1. Generally, rectal prolapse in infants may heal on its own. Attention should be paid to shortening the time of defecation, immediately repositioning the prolapsed rectum after defecation, placing the child in a prone position, and fixing both buttocks with tape. Adults should also actively treat diseases that cause increased abdominal pressure, such as constipation and cough, to avoid worsening of prolapse and recurrence after surgical treatment. 2. Drug treatment: Inject the sclerosing agent into the submucosal layer of the prolapsed area to cause aseptic inflammation and adhesion and fixation of the mucosa and muscular layer. Commonly used hardeners are 5% carbolic acid vegetable oil and 5% quinine hydrochloride urea aqueous solution. The effect is good for children and the elderly, but adults are prone to relapse. 3. There are many surgical methods for the treatment of complete rectal prolapse in adults, each with its own advantages and disadvantages and different recurrence rates. There are 4 surgical approaches: transabdominal, transperineal, transabdominoperineal, and transsacral. The first two approaches are more commonly used.
