Cystocele

Cystocele is a female reproductive tract injury where the bladder bulges into the anterior vaginal wall. The commonest cause is birth injury to the pelvic fascia and muscles holding the bladder, not repaired in time; severe cases also prolapse the urethra. Mild cases are asymptomatic; severe cases feel lumbar heaviness, sense something protruding from the vagina that shrinks after voiding, often with difficult/incomplete emptying.

Common Symptoms

Poor voiding; vulvar heaviness; urinary incontinence; lumbar ache

Causes

During delivery, the fetal head stretching the vagina injures the pubocervical fascia and anterior vaginal wall supports.

Treatment

Pessary, pelvic floor repair

Prevention

Pelvic floor exercises, prompt birth repair.
