Hello,
It is good that Rectopexy with Thiersch's stitch helped you well for rectal prolapse of long duration. The feeling of no complete evacuation is one of the known sequels.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
- Consult your operating Surgeon for examination like ano-proctoscopy and colonoscopy.
- Barium Enema helps.
- Now-a-days defecating MRI or CT scan can be done to see for the exact problems.
- Regular enema can help to regularize.
- Change of diet, avoiding stress and anxiety can help you further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
