2. the outlet obstruction – means a blocked emptying. In this case the mucosa becomes loose and mobile and so blocks the anal canal. Sometime this can lead to a mucosa-prolapse. The patient has to strain even more and so aggravating the problem:
   There are multiple causes to be analysed by a painless examination – rectoscopy – as well as x-ray.
   Be sure, that there is a solution for you.
