OK, I'm going to be objective here. It hurts. I've been to the doc's, and I know I have a chronic anal fissure [not as bad as it sounds, it's just a cut which won't heal because I keep pooing]. So that, I know. Recently, though, I've been paranoid about having a rectal prolapse. When I go, the impression I get of the shape of my anus when I poo is like this. Now, forgive the crudeness, I have drawn a diagram:http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/3410/halpbh1.jpg The part marked 'worry' is only about the width of a fingertip, about 7mm. It grips the poo as it leaves, but feels shriveled. Obviously it stings due to the cut.I was wondering if this was the norm. Not many people would actually feel their anus as the poo exits, but paranoia will make a person do strange things.

Thanks for the fast reply.Yeah, I'm trying to eat healthy. The thing about the fissure is that it's in a place where it'll never heal unless I stop moving my bowels alltogether, which has worse health implications.I'm going to hospital soon to get a botox injection into the sphincter so it doesn't spasm for a while, which the doc said should allow it to heal up.

As Rad said, some might slightly protrude.. Key word..Slightly.. From what you are describing it would seem that you have too much protruding.. #1 you shouldn't have "giant poo" and be constipated.. this protrusion and fissure are part of the same problem. Constipation and large bowel movements.. If you fix this the problem will go away.

Thanks for replying guys. I do appreciate it.I'm making an appointment with the doc today and I'll make sure I describe this to him. If it's not normal then I want to make sure it'll be helped. It's not like this hangs around when I'm not in the process of a bowel movement, anyway. It does seem to protrude slightly if I just attempt to move my bowels with nothing ready.Here's another masterpiece to show what this looks like:http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/9421/normkl1.jpg
