Key Words Rectal prolapse; Psychiatric disorders; Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory Questionnaire-20; Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7; Bowel dysfunction
Core Tip The prevalence of coexisting psychiatric disorders in women with rectal prolapse is 42%. These patients were younger and had higher rates of chronic constipation. The Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 and the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-7 revealed greater symptom distress and a more significant impact on quality of life in this group. The bowel symptoms were the main contributors to the distress experienced by these patients. This study supports the importance of screening for psychiatric conditions in rectal prolapse patients, which may improve individualized care.
