A cystocele is a type of pelvic organ prolapse in which the bladder bulges into the vagina. It is caused by a weakness in the muscles and ligaments that support the bladder.
Cystocele Symptoms
The symptoms of a cystocele can vary depending on the severity of the prolapse. Mild cystoceles may not cause any symptoms, while more severe cystoceles can cause the following symptoms:
Cystocele Causes
The main causes of a cystocele are:
Age: The risk of developing a cystocele increases with age. This is because the muscles and ligaments that support the bladder weaken as we get older.
Childbirth: Repeated childbirth can put stress on the pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, increasing the risk of a cystocele.
Obesity: Excess weight puts pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, which can contribute to a cystocele.
Genetics: Some women are more likely to develop a cystocele due to their genes.
Other medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as chronic coughing or constipation, can increase the risk of a cystocele.
Treatment for a Cystocele
The treatment for a cystocele depends on the severity of the prolapse and the symptoms. Mild cystoceles may not require any treatment, but more severe cystoceles may require one or more of the following treatments:
Lifestyle changes:These changes can help to reduce the pressure on the pelvic floor muscles and prevent the prolapse from getting worse.
They include:
Pessary: A pessary is a device that is inserted into the vagina to support the bladder. Pessaries can be used to treat mild to moderate cystoceles.
Surgery: Surgery is usually only recommended for severe cystoceles that do not respond to other treatments. There are several different types of surgery for cystocele repair, and the best type of surgery for you will depend on the severity of your prolapse and your individual circumstances.
