Does this sound like a bowel prolapse?

Hi all,

I've been experiencing some symptoms. I have now wondered if this a prolapse? Any advice I'd be grateful.

I still feel I need to have a bowel movement even after going. I am going to the toilet a lot and I never feel empty, I'm always straining but nothing. (Sorry TMI). I feel a bulge when I strain but afterwards it goes away (this is what's made me question if it is actually a prolapse or not as it doesn't stay 'out'). Oddly I've also been experiencing a lot of pressure in my bowels during sex, it feels like I need to pass wind but nothing comes out, it's quite painful pressure.

I've had 2 EMCS but no vaginal delivery. I'm early 30s.

I'm assuming I make a routine appointment with gp?

Thanks

Yes see your GP. Could be many things.

It’s hard to determine but immediately stop straining/bearing down/ during bowel movements or urination. This is very bad for prolapse. You need to be seen by a doctor. See if you can see a gynecologist that specializes in pelvic floor disorders.

Hi @Whatisgoingoff2024

Yes. It was internal haemorrhoids.
