I am a 49 year old man, 171 lbs, 5'9", reasonably fit. I do smoke and drink. The only gastric problem in my history is my gall bladder, which was removed in 2005. Recently (6 months) I have been experiencing bowel problems such as constipation, diarrhea, small amounts of bright blood, urgency to have a movement, usually with no result and the feeling that my bowel did not empty. I have also noticed a small protrusion from the anus while straining.

My doctor diagnosed this as IBS, also prescribing Dicyclomine and an anal cream which has had little or no affect on my symptoms.

I have been investigating my symptoms wherein I came across "Rectal Prolapse" which from what I have studied exhibits the exact same symptoms as mine.

I hope you can advise me about this condition vs my condition and how to go forward to remedy the problem.

Sincerely... Mark M.
