Just to warn y'all, this is almost definately TMI.
Symptoms....no real "symptoms" per se, except that every time you have a BM, a mass decends out of the anal sphincter. For me, I was acutely aware of something bodily exiting and reentering my body (I know this sounds weird, but it's the best I can do.)
Diagnosis: My GI found it during a colonoscopy but it was confirmed by a surgical consult. I'm also getting a barium enema (tomorrow in fact) so my docs can see exactly what's happening. Prior to this, the surgical consult was able to do a visual inspection because I pushed out the prolapse for him to see. Not my most pleasant experience.
BTW, I'm turning 21 in August and my doc says I have the colon of a 90 year old. Nice, no?
