Rectal prolapse refers to the descending or drooping of the rectum via the anus. It occurs when pressure in the abdomen is greater than the strength of the pelvic floor, connective tissues and deep core muscles that help in keeping the bowel in its place. Yoga exercises that strengthen pelvic and abdominal stability without significant increase in intra-abdominal pressure will help with rectal prolapse. However, it is important to note that rectal prolapse cannot be reversed by yoga exercises. Rectal prolapse is usually caused by a combination of many factors, behaviours and habits. It is best to go in for a complete examination and treatment plan from an urologist for prolapse in Chennai.
