Rectal prolapse can present in a variety of forms and is associated with a range of symptoms including pain, incomplete evacuation, bloody and/or mucous rectal discharge, and fecal incontinence or constipa-tion. Complete external rectal prolapse is characterized by a circumferential, full-thickness protrusion of the rectum through the anus, which may be intermittent or may be incarcerated and poses a risk of strangu-lation. There are multiple surgical options to treat rectal prolapse, and thus care should be taken to under-stand each patient’s symptoms, bowel habits, anatomy, and pre-operative expectations. We propose an al-gorithm based on available outcomes data in the literature, an understanding of ano-rectal physiology, and expert opinion that can serve as a guide to determining the rectal prolapse operation that will achieve the best possible postoperative outcomes for individual patients. Mushakadi Taila Matrabasti will be given in Sushrut Samhita as a treatment1 with perineal repair. So, it is really needed to find a safe, easier, less com-plicating, cost effective and fruitful approach for the management of disease through Ayurveda. A 62year old male patient came to the hospital with chief complaints of protrusion of mass from the anus with mu-cous discharge, constipation since last 5 years. He was diagnosed as complete rectal prolapse. Considering the signs and symptoms of rectal prolapse, the treatment of rectal prolapsed was planned with perineal re-pair and Mushakadi Taila Matarabasti as per mentioned in the treatment of Gudabhransha by Aacharya Sushruta.
