Hello! There is a pathology that is rectal prolapse, which is a condition in which part or all of the rectum is turned upside down and out of the anal canal with many degrees and due to many different causes. The disease is common in children and the elderly, causing many acute and chronic complications, especially in cases of strangulation that can cause intestinal necrosis - this is a surgical emergency.
The doctor does not understand what you mean, what is the diagnosis of intestinal prolapse, do you have any symptoms now? Assuming that you have had rectal prolapse since childhood, at a mild level, it can go away on its own, but now that you are 27 years old, if you see a prolapsed anus when you defecate, it is not necessarily a prolapse as you say. .
You should see a gastroenterologist soon, if it is true rectal prolapse, you may have to have surgery to reattach the rectum to the abdominal wall or regenerate the anal sphincter.. and laparoscopic surgery can be quite safe. all of you.
You can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System nationwide for a doctor to give you more advice and give you the right treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending the question "Is there any impact on the surgery at the age of 27?" to Vinmec. Best regards!
