8. Urinary Incontinence

20 to 35% of patients who have rectal prolapse may also experience urinary incontinence. The physician may have to do tests to find out what the prolapse is causing other problems. If a diagnosis of rectal prolapse remains unclear, a defecography may be the way to reveal the problem. This test involves a patient who is given an enema. The enema contains x-ray contrast, and ex-rays are taken during the process of having a bowel movement. The patient is given contrast to drink, and in some cases, it is placed in the vagina. This can reveal problems like urinary incontinence and bulge into the vagina.
