Brief Answer: NO Detailed Answer: Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this uterine prolapse you had and the liver abscess. Rectal prolapse cannot cause a liver abscess. The two structures are in no way related and one pathology can by no means lead to the other. They are both independent and probably just happened that you had both. What difficulty do you have defecating? I will suggest that you consider getting evaluated for the exact cause of this difficulty to be identified and managed accordingly. A general physician would be a good person to start with and referrals would be made if judged necessary. I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well and thank you so much for using our services. Please, feel free to request for more information or clarification if need be. Dr. Ditah, MD.
