Hello and welcome to HCM.
The short answer to your question is that you will need another surgery.

Unfortunately in adults no medical treatment for rectal prolapse is available.
Your surgeon will decide what type of surgery will be best for you.

Rectal bleeding and infection are the complications of the prolapsed rectal tissue being outside the body, unprotected. The long term treatment for these complications or rather to prevent these complications from happening again in the future is the elimination of rectal prolapse by surgical repair.
As long as the rectum is prolapsed, it will remain at risk for infection and bleeding.


Wishing you the best of health.
