Rectal prolapse

Can any doctor diagnose rectal prolapse just by looking at the anus through torch and asking to cough? If rectum does not come outside while coughing can he still diagnose it?

Sometimes merely coughing is you have to squat and bear down like during defecating and only then will the prolapse be visible
