Brief Answer:
Protrusion
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just red through your question.
Firstly, we want to make sure her stools are soft. If they are hard, they only exacerbate the problem.
With that said, because your daughter is experiencing pain, surgery is most likely the only thing to alleviate the problem. It is very rare that with softening the stool the problem corrects itself, especially because we have noticed it worsening over time and not improving.
My recommendation would be to use stool softeners to hel with her discomfort, and discuss at length what would be involved in the surgery to correct it.

Surgery
Detailed Answer:
The surgery is a fairly common one. In most cases the children are discharged home on the same day. The doctors will explain to you how to change the dressings. Other than that, her care at home should not change.
