Embarrassing problem?

When I go to the bathroom (even urinating) it feels like my insides are coming out my anus, what is wrong with me? What can be done?

If tissue if actually protruding from the anus during a restroom visit, then this could be rectal prolapse. You might also be feeling a prolapsing hemorrhoid. If there is no tissue actually emanating from the anus then it could be a rectocele, which is a bulging of the rectum but it doesn't prolapse through the anal canal. You should be evaluated by a doctor and get a rectal exam.
Most likely a rectal prolapse but I can’t confirm without an examination in office.
I recommend a rectal examination & anoscopy ASAP.
