“…Dynamic assessment of the pelvic floor and rectal emptying shows an association of solitary rectal ulcer syndrome with occult prolapse [43]. In addition, there is often a nonrelaxing puborectalis and/or fail ure of the anal sphincter to relax on straining [41,44], Treatment is directed toward stopping the bleeding in acute situations by local measures, but the underlying defect is corrected by di etary manipulation and pelvic floor retraining to avoid straining. If patients continue to bleed and discharge mucus despite optimal medical management, rarely, a colo-anal anastomosis may be necessary.…”
