Is this a rectal prolapse?

[Mommy_of_2]

Can rectal prolapse cause flat stools? I have a GI appt. coming up and I don't know where to start. I just had my third child 13 weeks ago. I am a 30 yo F.

During my pregnancy I developed and urgency to have BMs and it hasn't let up. I wake up in the morning to have a BM almost immediately and it takes me 2 to 4 trips to completely empty. Lately it's been a lot of smallish broken up pieces. I noticed I still have stool left over in my rectum.

I also have a constant feeling of fullness in my rectum. A tailbone pressure. And a slight pressure in my pubic region as well as times.

I can see I have hemms. When I push I noticed a red bulge but it doesn't completely exit my anus.. a bunch of soft lumps that can only be seen while I am bearing down. Is this a prolapse or internal hemms I am not sure as they come from within my anus. I also noticed slight abdominal aches occasionally.

Does this sound like a prolapse? How should I approach my GI next week? I'm very nervous. any advice is appreciated.

Hi. Sorry to hear your pain and concern. It's best just to explain to your GI what you can see. It might be piles it might be a prolapse. I thought I had piles that kept coming down and I had to push back. When it got worse and wouldn't stay up my GP referred me to hospital. Was told I had a prolapse from the lower bowel and it needed to be repaired, which I had done about a year ago. Try not to worry it could be piles seeing you not long ago had your baby. Congratulations by the way. Let me know how you get on.
