Patients with rectal prolapse can eat beef, but it is not recommended to consume it in excess, as eating too much beef may lead to dry stools or a high fiber content in the feces, making it difficult to expel and potentially worsening the severity of the rectal prolapse. The diet for patients with rectal prolapse should mainly be light, including liquid or easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy foods like chili peppers and seafood or foods with a hard texture. In addition to dietary considerations, patients with rectal prolapse also need treatment to relieve symptoms or cure the condition. Options include traditional Chinese medicine enemas that preserve the function or oral medications that supplement and boost vital energy, as well as surgery to remove the prolapsed rectal mucosa.

The difference between rectal prolapse and rectal prolapse.

Rectal prolapse, also known as rectal prolapse, is characterized by partial prolapse of the rectal mucosa in the early stages and full-length prolapse of the rectum in the later stages. Early rectal prolapse is generally accompanied by a feeling of incomplete bowel movements, urgency followed by a feeling of incomplete relief, and perianal contact, with secretions leading to perianal eczema, itching, and infection in the later stages. If the prolapse cannot be reduced, entrapment can occur, causing pain. The initial treatment for rectal prolapse is to ensure smooth bowel movements and reduce factors that increase abdominal pressure to avoid causing the rectal mucosa to protrude outward. Severe rectal prolapse may require surgical treatment.

Can you eat pork with rectal prolapse?

Patients with rectal prolapse can eat pork. Rectal prolapse is common in patients who have had chronic constipation or are physically weak. Therefore, to avoid constipation and excessive straining during bowel movements, it is recommended that patients with rectal prolapse maintain a diet that is light and bland. They should avoid spicy foods such as chili peppers and seafood, as well as foods that are hard in texture, to prevent stools from becoming too dry and necessitating excessive straining, which can worsen the prolapse or even lead to complete rectal prolapse. To prevent the recurrence of constipation or excessive straining during bowel movements, it is advisable to consume more liquid foods, as well as light vegetables and fruits. Moreover, if the condition frequently recurs or clearly leads to complete rectal prolapse, it is recommended that patients undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible.

Rectal prolapse symptoms

The symptoms of rectal prolapse mainly refer to local mucosal relaxation in the anal canal, which leads to the prolapse of the internal mucosa outside the anus, or excessive relaxation of the mucosa that accumulates at the anus, forming an internal mucosal prolapse of the rectum. Rectal prolapse may also manifest as local bloating, pain, and a feeling of falling in the patient. Due to repeated prolapses, it may also cause difficulties in defecation due to mucosal accumulation at the anus, or form outlet obstructive constipation. Therefore, whether it is internal mucosal prolapse of the rectum or prolapse that leads to rectal prolapse, it is advisable for patients to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible to avoid aggravating the condition and delaying treatment.

How is rectal prolapse graded?

Rectal prolapse is generally graded into three degrees: first degree rectal prolapse, second degree rectal prolapse, and third degree rectal prolapse. First degree rectal prolapse is a relatively minor condition where the rectal mucosa protrudes but can retract back on its own. Second degree rectal prolapse is a moderate condition where the protruding mucosa extends approximately 5-10 centimeters, generally forming a conical shape, and requires the patient to manually reposition it. Third degree rectal prolapse indicates a severe condition, with the prolapsed mucosa typically extending beyond 10 centimeters. It may protrude with each incident and could also occur when the patient strains the abdomen or squats. The treatment of second and third degree rectal prolapse generally requires surgical intervention.

The difference between rectal prolapse and rectal prolapse

The term "rectal prolapse" used in folk vernacular covers a wide range, such as incarcerated hemorrhoids, inflammatory external hemorrhoids, thrombosed external hemorrhoids, rectal polyps, and rectal prolapse itself are all referred to as rectal prolapse. Of course, this also includes cases where, due to a lack of medical knowledge, any tumors or flesh-like growth protruding from inside to outside the anus are collectively termed as rectal prolapse. It is evident that the folk term “rectal prolapse” includes conditions like prolapsed rectum, prolapsed internal hemorrhoids, or prolapsed polyps, while the modern medical definition of rectal prolapse specifically refers to the protrusion of the rectum and its mucous membrane; the two should not be confused.
