What is it and what does it do? ( rectal prolapse)
Brief Answer:
Could you check the spelling?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
Rectal prolapse can be managed surgically or medically. medically, it consists in injecting a substance that would cause robust inflammatory reaction that would lead to the fixation of the rectal loops part of the intestine to the pelvic wall. This would prevent if from falling freely through the anus.
The name of tis drug is not familiar. I cannot find it either and wondering if you got the spelling right. Could you check this out?
In all, it is an oily product that would provoke robust inflammation that would cause the rectal wall to be attached firmly to the surrounding pelvic structures thereby preventing prolapse.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
