Patients with rectal prolapse report a mass bulging via the anus. At the start, the mass obtrudes from the anus only after a bowel movement and generally pulls in when the patient stands up. As the ailment progression moves ahead, the mass obtrude more often, particularly with straining and Valsalva movements such as sneezing or coughing. Lastly, the rectum prolapses with everyday activities such as walking and might progress to constant prolapse. As the ailment progresses, the rectum no longer spontaneously pulls back and patients might have to replace it by hand. This condition might then progress to a point where the rectum prolapses instantaneously after being substituted and is constantly prolapsed. Seldom, the rectum becomes incarcerated, and patients cannot replace the rectum.

Pain is inconstant. Some 10-25% of patients also have uterine or bladder prolapse and 35% might have an associated cystocele. Constipation takes place in 15-65% of cases. There might also be rectal bleeding. Along with a protuberant mass from the anus, patients often report fecal incontinence (28-88%). Incontinence befalls for two reasons. First, the anus is widened and overextended by the protuberant rectum, unsettling the function of the anal sphincter. Second, the mucosa of the rectum is in contact with the atmosphere and continuously secretes mucus, therefore making the patient appear to be persistently damp and incontinent. A comprehensive history to assess incontinence, constipation, or both is imperative since it plays a role in determining the suitable non-surgical treatment of prolapse rectum.

What are the symptoms?

The first symptoms of rectal prolapse might be:
 Leak of stool from the anus (fecal incontinence).
 Leak of mucus or blood from the anus (wet anus).

Other symptoms of rectal prolapse consist of:

 A sensation of having full bowels and an urge to have a bowel movement.
 Passage of lots of very trivial stools.
 The feeling of not being able to vacate the bowels totally.
 Anal pain, itching, irritation and bleeding.
 Bright red tissue that rods out of the anus.
