The prolapsed part of the rectum may then slip back through the anal canal on its own. Over time, the prolapse may become more severe and may need surgery.

An year-old woman with a history of mild dementia and hypertension presented with rectal bleeding. Her husband stated that she had "hemorrhoids.
