Prolapsed anus and power lifter

Description:In most cases, however, no single cause can be identified. The patient had a pained look on his face and was leaning on his friends as he was unable to walk by himself. To add insult to injury, the ex-lifter required rectal stitching to partially occlude the anal orifice and stitch the rectal passage which had significantly expanded and torn during the prolapse and also was put on a low fibre low residue diet to combat flatulence to avoid any possibility of a recurrence. Paramedics arrived and applied anaesthesia on the spot and carried him to an ambulance. Doctors who examined him found a "tail" measuring about 20cm long emerging from his buttocks. This turned out to be his prolapsed rectum. Ageing can also cause weakening of the tissues that support the rectum and weakening of the muscles of the anus.
