(Massage Therapy)
GENERAL EXPLANATION:
Prolapse of rectum is a disease of the anal canal, various layers of rectum or rectal membrane that come out of the anus. It is often seen in children and elderly with weak body constitution due to the deficiency of central Qi, collapse of Qi and flaccidity of the anus. At the beginning, it occurs only in the bowel movement and the rectum can go upwards itself. If the problem lingers for a long period of time, it needs to be pushed upwards by hand, accompanied by a distending and dropping sensation or fresh blood and even infection and ulceration in the local area. Massage therapy can strengthen the spleen, benefit the Qi and uplift the rectum.

2. It is advisable to increase exercise and improve body constitution.
