SYMPTOMS & CONCERNS

Tissue Coming Out During Bowel Movements

Tissue coming out of the anus during or after a bowel movement may be related to prolapsed internal hemorrhoids or another anorectal condition.

The timing, size, whether the tissue goes back in on its own, whether it needs to be pushed back manually, and whether there is bleeding, pain, or swelling can help identify the likely cause.

At AC Hemorrhoids & Anorectal Centre in Calgary, we assess common causes of prolapse and discuss treatment options based on the clinical findings.
