Rectal Proplapse

I think I have a partial rectal prolapse, I can feel a soft lump across my anus. Will phone GP tomorrow.

I am 42 and started running 3 weeks ago, when running I could feel a heaviness in my rectum. Could running have caused this? 🙁

I have had treatment for pelvic floor issues after my 3 big babies, heaviest was 11lbs.

feeling sad that my new pursuit may be over before it’s begun!!

Could it be haemorrhoids?

No unfortunately I’ve had multiple bouts of haemorrhoids and this is def a larger bulge.
