Used unqualified, the term rectal prolapse often is used synonymously with complete rectal prolapse (external rectal prolapse), where the rectal walls have prolapsed to a degree where they protrude out the anus and are visible outside the body. However, most researchers agree that there are 3 to 5 different types of rectal prolapse, depending on if the prolapsed section is visible externally, and if the full or only partial thickness of the rectal wall is involved.
Rectal prolapse may occur without any symptoms, but depending upon the nature of the prolapse there may be mucous discharge (mucus coming from the anus), rectal bleeding, degrees of fecal incontinence and obstructed defecation symptoms.
Rectal prolapse is generally more common in elderly women, although it may occur at any age and in both sexes. It is very rarely life-threatening, but the symptoms can be debilitating if left untreated. Most external prolapse cases can be treated successfully, often with a surgical procedure. Internal prolapses are traditionally harder to treat and surgery may not be suitable for many patients.

I'll do my best to keep posts about prolapse relevant.

I think he was an astute student of all things related to the human rectal condition. Contemporaries of Vlad, especially his friends from the Catholic Church, would often refer to him quite cheekily as "Natis Homo", or "Ass Man". Pleasuring his guests by inserting large wooden stakes in to their anuses was a fond pastime of his.
He was also known to own the world's first Stradivarius.

It is believed he suffered from a decades long affliction of both syphilis and gonorrhea (contracted during his early years of buggery with the Turks, hence the termed "Turked") which caused him to go with what is known in the medical fields as "Bat Shit Crazy" (aka BSC syndrome) and this is what drove him to anally*** impale people on large wooden stakes while LoLing the nights away in his castle. /facts
***It should be noted that being anally impaled can lead to a "rectal prolapse" once the stake is removed from the victim's anus
