Prevention

A high-fiber diet and a dailyintake of plenty of fluids can reduce a person's risk of developing constipation. Straining during bowel movements should be avoided. A person with long-term diarrhea, constipation, or hemorrhoids should seek medical attention to treat these conditions in order to lessen the chance of developing a prolapsed rectum.
