Diagnosis
Your healthcare provider will be able to identify rectal prolapse with a medical
history and a physical examination. You might be asked to squat and strain as if
you are having a bowel movement. Your healthcare providers might also do other
examinations to confirm the diagnosis. Tests may embrace:
Videofecogram: A kind of X-ray taken during a bowel movement.
Anorectal manometry: A pressure-measuring pipe placed inside the rectum
to measure how well the muscles that control bowel movements are
functioning.
