Answer

Meaning of Rectal prolapse
The term rectal prolapse often is used synonymously with complete rectal prolapse (external rectal prolapse), where the rectal walls have prolapsed to a degree where they protrude out the anus and are visible outside the body. However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on if the prolapsed section is visible externally, and if the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved. – See link

 

Rectal prolapse in Spanish is Prolapso rectal
El prolapso rectal es la protrusiֳ³n (avanzamiento anormal de una parte, tumor u ֳ³rgano, por aumento de volumen o por una causa posterior que lo empuja) del recto a travֳ©s del ano. El prolapso rectal hace que el recto se invierta, de tal forma que desde el ano se ve el revestimiento mucoso como una prolongaciֳ³n de tejido de color rojo oscuro, hֳ÷medo y con forma de dedo. – See link
