I had a colonoscopy yesterday.
2 polyps were found and snipped.
Will have test results next week.
I have been diagnosed with diverticulosis
and have adhesions.
Also, this "dropped colon". I've looked
all over the 'net for a reference to it. Even
searched for "collapsed colon" to no avail.
Can anyone help me out here?
Horay! for demerol and versed!
Thanks for any help regarding this.
Sherry/shay

you could be thinking of prolapse. You might also look into rectocele, where the rectum prolapses and causes a bulge in the vaginal canal. Good luck with your tests.

Ok, so I did some research that was possible with the suggestion of using the word "prolapse" duh! Why didnt I think of that? I have so many of these symtoms, it's not even funny. I've decided 2 things:
1) more fiber in my diet
2) no more anal sex
I hope these articles help someone before it's too late. Pay special attention to the symptoms.
Thanks,

By Agota Csekey, C.C.Ir., R.Ir.
One of the most important consideration in finding the right treatment for a symptom should be first and foremost to find the cause. When a person has several disorders and complaints it is quite a task for the health practitioner to determine what organ, what dysfunction or incoordination between organs is responsible for the symptoms. It has been proven that there are some relationships existing in the body between organs and body systems.
When imbalances have developed in one part of the body such as toxic deposits, irritation or under-activity, then other parts of the body will be affected as a reflex action. The most demonstrable source of such reflex conditions are in the intestinal tract. For example, if there is toxic settlement in the colon, irritations will develop in the tissue of the organ situated next to the affected part of the colon in respect to the iris chart. There is a direct relationship between every part of the colon and the various organs of the body

Most symptoms in different parts of the body can be connected to imbalances in the colon tissue. Although, the bowel is supplied with numerous autonomic nerves that give the impulse for peristaltic motion to transport food and waste through the colon, it does not have many receptive neurons for painful sensation. Therefore, imbalances or tissue changes in the bowel can occur for many years without having any specific symptoms in the colon. Despite the absence of pain, tissue damage could exists, and when it does it can be seen in the iris.
Ballooned Colon
it indicates that the large intestine is ballooned and it has lost much of its tone and strength. This can cause sluggish bowel movement and it tends to affect the function of the glandular system which is recorded immediately outside of the colonIt is believed that disorders such as appendicitis, dysfunction of the heart and blood vessels, sinusitis, arthritis, rheumatism and others are the result of the sluggish colon allowing toxicity to be carried to those organs through ‘Radii Solaris’ (extended fecal impactions from the colon), bowel pockets and diverticulae.
Diverticulae
When there is a persistent case of sluggish bowel movement, then the toxic waste, fermentation and gas will push out the weak area of the colon wall creating ‘pouch-like’ diverticulae. The environment in this pouch provides the breeding ground for micro-organisms. Their presence and waste will react on the wall of the diverticulae and will produce a characteristic reflex condition in the organ that is situated next to diverticulae in the colon

Prolapsed Colon
The prolapsus of the transverse colon is a common problem. This mechanical irregularity of the bowel When the muscles and ligaments that hold the transverse colon in its place weakens, a prolapsed colon develops. This condition will put pressure on the organs in the pelvic region i.e. uterus, prostate. bladder, rectum, and the fallopian tubes of the two ovaries. As a result symptoms such as bladder and prostate trouble, back pain, tilted or prolapsed uterus, blocked fallopian tubes and menstrual irregularities may be experienced. Also, the pressure on the rectum could create hemorrhoids.

http://colonrectal.net/prolapse.html
A prolapsed Colon is when the transverse portion of the Colon has physically become lazy and dropped down. One can view this on many people who appear to have a dropped belly. Regular use of laxatives will create increased colon problems.
A misshapen Colon may contribute to secondary health ailments. A prolapsed transverse Colon may apply pressure to the uterus, causing uterine pain, menstrual cramps and ovarian pain. The transverse Colon may also sit on the bladder creating urinary incontinence. The hepatic flexure - the bending point of the ascending and transverse colon (on the right side of the body) may press against the gallbladder and liver causing in adequate function. Diarrhea, constipation, gas and spastic colon are additional results of a misshapen Colon

Rectal Prolapse
Rectal prolapse occurs when the upper portion of the rectum telescopes itself inside out and protrudes through the anus. This is found more often in older women, but it can occur in women of any age as well as in men about 15% of the time. Typically the patient who presents with a rectal prolapse has a history of constipation with chronic straining at the time of bowel movement. Over time, attachments that help maintain the rectum in its normal anatomic position weaken, allowing the rectum to progressively telescope itself inside out.

Symptoms
Symptoms typically include feelings of incomplete evacuation, feeling like there is a "ball" inside the rectum, and frequently feeling the need to move your bowels, with little or no passage of stool. These symptoms may occur early in the process, before the rectum protrudes through the anus (an occult prolapse). Once the rectum protrudes through the anus, patients frequently experience bleeding and mucus drainage along with feeling the protrusion of the rectum. Initially the prolapse may spontaneously reduce (the prolapse returns into the rectum), however, with progression of time and ongoing straining, the prolapse may need to be manually reduced and with further progression rare cases may become incarcerated (unable to reduce without surgical intervention). Also during these time frames, the prolapse may initially occur with straining at the time of bowel movement, but may get to the point where it occurs with any activity. With progression of this problem, the prolapse itself may damage the sphincter muscle involved in control of the passage of stool. If that occurs, fecal incontinence or accidental leakage of stool could result.

I was going to say you may want to pick that up, wash it off and pop it back in, but then that wouldnt be helpful.
