This may be suitable for acute prolapse with good tissue viability where it is amenable to manual reduction under general or epidural anaesthesia. A loose purse-string suture should be placed around the anus after reduction for a period of 3-5 days. Prior to manual reduction, the protruded mass should be treated with warm saline lavages, massages and lubrication or hypertonic saline sugar solution to relieve oedema. Tenesmus can be reduced by laxative such as lactulose, faecal softener, and a moist diet. Complications such as tenesmus, dyschezia, haematochezia and recurrence can occur.
