Is it normal for your rectum to prolapse every time you have a bowel movement?

Question: I am 23 and it has been happening for about 2 years. Every time I strain to have a bm, my rectum comes right out. I have to push it back in with toilet paper when I wipe. It is not painful at all, just strange. Does anybody else have this happen?

Answers:
Since you already know the medically appropriate term (Prolapse), I would hazard a guess that you already know this is not normal, and probably even where to go from here.

Rectal prolapse, to the degree that you describe, is a significant problem and requires a full evaluation and treatment.

Proceed directly to a real fellowship trained Colon and Rectal surgeon.
