Rectal prolapse, but not rectal purging (excessive finger evacuation to induce defecation), has been formally associated with eating disorders in the medical literature. We describe a young woman with bulimia nervosa and irritable bowel syndrome who used rectal purging as a method of counteracting the effects of her binge eating and who underwent two corrective surgeries for rectal prolapse in a 15-month interval. Further research into the relationship between eating disorders, rectal purging, and gastrointestinal dysfunction is called for.
直肠脱垂，但不是直肠排空（过度手指排空以诱导排便），在医学文献中已与饮食失调正式相关。我们描述了一位患有神经性贪食症和肠易激综合征的年轻女性，她使用直肠排空作为抵消暴食影响的方法，并且在 15 个月的时间内接受了两次直肠脱垂的矫正手术。需要进一步研究饮食失调、直肠排空和胃肠道功能障碍之间的关系。
