Rectal Prolapse - Causes and Risk Factors

What causes rectal prolapse?

Several factors contribute to the development of rectal prolapse. 

  • Repeated straining at stools
  • Stresses during childbirth
  • Ageing, which leads to the weakening of the tissues that support the rectum and the weakening of the muscles of the anus
  • Neurological problems, such as spinal cord injury or spinal cord disease

In most cases, there is no single identifiable cause.
