Rectocele Repair

A rectocele repair is a surgical procedure used to treat a condition where the rectum bulges into the vaginal wall, often due to weakened pelvic muscles. This bulge can cause discomfort, bowel issues, and difficulty with sexual function. During the repair, a surgeon repositions the rectum and strengthens the pelvic support structures, typically using stitches or mesh. The goal is to relieve symptoms and restore normal function. Recovery may involve rest and pelvic floor exercises to strengthen the area. It's important for patients to discuss options and expectations with their healthcare provider.
