No. I went to a colon/rectal surgeon. He did a rectal exam and had me push while sitting on a toilet. If you have it the Dr. will be able to see it. Your rectum comes out when you push...not pleasant. He had me do the defecography after that just to be sure there wasn't anything else going on/to get all the details. It's a visual diagnosis he can do in his office. But there are other types of prolapse (bladder, vaginal?) that could show up on a test like that. Do you think you have rectal prolapse? Do you have symptoms you are curious about?
