Coming out of the anus doesnt mean "prolapsed colon" which means just the collapsing of the colon inside the body.

What Is Rectal Prolapse?
Rectal prolapse is a condition in which the rectum (the lower end of the colon, located just above the anus) drops downwards and turns inside out. In the early stage, the rectum stays inside the body, but as the condition worsens, it may protrude out through the anus. There is often weakness of the anal muscles, and this may result in leakage of stool or mucus. Rectal prolapse is more common in women than men.
Why Does It Occur?
Several factors contribute to the development of rectal prolapse. Repeated straining at stools or stresses during childbirth plays a role. With aging, there is weakening of the tissues that support the rectum and weakening of the muscles of the anus. In some cases, neurological problems, such as spinal cord injury or spinal cord disease, can lead to prolapse. In most cases, however, no single cause can be identified.
Is Rectal Prolapse The Same As Hemorrhoids?
They may have the same symptoms such as bleeding and/or a lump that protrudes from the anus. Rectal prolapse, however, involves a part of the intestines higher up within the body, while hemorrhoids develop near the anal opening.

Probably has happened at some time or another. Prolapsed does mean coming out. A prolapsed rectum looks like it has been turned inside out. I would guess that if it's bad enough, the sigmoid colon,. which is attached tho the rectum can appear also.
Try a gastroenterology question, or ask WEB md. Tey will have some links.

yes. I believe it is called a prolapse. Do a search for colon prolapse. It cold also just be just a hemorrhoid. If you think it is prolapse, please consult a doctor.

Yes, but ick what a question. I don't want to search for pictures or links to it, but you might want to research hernias, or hemmoroids.
