What Treatments are available?

The following treatments may help reverse
pelvic organ prolapse:

Softening the stool – By increasing fiber intake, using stool softeners, prune juice, or flaxseed oil, the stool can be softened to prevent straining during a bowel movement. Straining can make pelvic organ prolapse or rectal prolapse much worse, and avoiding straining may help a prolapse to correct.

Using moist wipes – With rectal prolapse, the anus may be irritated, so using moist wipes (such as baby wipes or toddler wipes) can eliminate irritation and help prevent further irritation.  In addition, some women have had success using paw paw or papaya lotion on the anus
