Bladder prolapse (cystocele)

Bladder prolapse, also known as cystocele, occurs when the bladder drops and bulges into the front wall of the vagina due to weakened pelvic muscles and tissues. This condition often arises after childbirth, menopause, or heavy lifting. Symptoms may include urinary incontinence, a feeling of pressure or fullness in the vagina, and discomfort during physical activities. Treatment options vary from pelvic exercises to surgery, depending on severity. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management if you experience related symptoms.
