Welcome Good evening 1. By history of patient clinician can think of rectal prolapse without asking to strain or valsalva manauovre ... a. History of bulge/ mass/something coming out of anal opening at defecation or otherwise with or without following b. Discharge/Soiling c. Bleeding d. Pain in anal area. e. Investigations like EMG, MANOMETRY,  TRANS-RECTAL USG etc 2. On looking with light ,torch in this  case, Certainly one can diagnose prolapse rectum- red pink mass with concentric rings, sulcus on inspection. Thanks Regards
