Cystocele

A cystocele is a condition where the bladder bulges into the front wall of the vagina due to weakened pelvic muscles and tissue. This often occurs after childbirth, menopause, or heavy lifting. Symptoms can include discomfort, difficulty emptying the bladder, or urinary incontinence. Some women may notice a visible bulge in the vagina. Treatment options range from pelvic exercises to strengthen the muscles, to physical therapy, or, in more severe cases, surgical procedures. It’s important for those experiencing symptoms to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and management.
