3. Large bowel movements can cause the prolapse.
4. Of muscle atrophy throughout the body.

2. The coughing attacks cause muscle weakness in the rectum, thus causing a prolapse.
3. A child with cystic fibrosis may have larger bowel movements, but this does not cause the prolapse.
4. Muscle atrophy does not occur in the rectum, and thus is not the reason for the rectal prolapse.
