Reply to "Struggle to empty pouch"

It is possible that if biofeedback is successful with the muscular dysfunction, the prolapse might "fix" itself, since it is probably due to straining. It all depends on how serious the prolapse is, I think. Serious ones, like where there is major telescoping of the bowel, they either need to do a resection/redo or possibly tack the pouch in place on the posterior pelvic wall.

What I am saying is that if the prolapse is minor, then it could be overcome and worsening of it prevented by biofeedback training. Not so much that it would be repaired, just more of a non-issue. If he continues to strain, then it will likely worsen.
