Research Notes on Cystocele
Cystocele is a condition in which the bladder herniates into the vagina due to a tear in the wall between the two (usually during childbirth). The drop from the normal position of the bladder can lead to problems such as unwanted urine leakage and incomplete emptying of the bladder. Depending on the severity of the problem, treatment options may be to either do nothing or perform surgery to repair the tear.
Fast Facts:
- Also referred to as "fallen bladder" or "prolapsed bladder".
- Estrogen helps keep the vaginal muscles strong, but when a woman undergoes menopause the muscles weaken and cystocele is more easily noticed.
- Symptoms include pelvic or vaginal fullness, urinary incontinence, and a bulge in the vaginal canal.
