I've been dealing with complete rectal prolapse for over 10 years since I was young and now I'm 19. I'm scheduled for TRRPCS surgery but I'm not sure if it's the best option for me especially since I want to join the defense forces. Are there better surgical alternatives I should consider that would fit my active career goals?

TRRPCS is a good option for young patients with prolapse; however, rectopexy or laparoscopic procedures may offer better durability for physically demanding careers.

I've been applying Smuth cream for my piles as prescribed, and it's been helping to reduce the size. But now, I've started experiencing really itchy sensations around my anus and the area beneath my scrotum. It's gotten to the point where I can't stop scratching, and now there's this flaky, dry skin developing and peeling off when I do. The doctor suggested I try a sitz bath, but I'm just wondering if there's anything else I should be doing or if this is something to be concerned about? Its really uncomfortable, so any advice would be appreciated.
