What is Bladder Prolapse (Cystocele)
Table of Contents
Prolapse of the bladder is the most common type of pelvic organ prolapse. It is a condition where the bladder falls down into the vagina causing pain, urinary problems and other complications. It should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible as leaving it alone will most likely worsen the condition.
Common Symptoms:
- Tissue protruding from vaginal opening
- Pain and discomfort
- Urinary leakage
- Difficulty urinating
- Bladder infections
- Bleeding / spotting
- Low back pain
- Painful intercourse
Common Causes:
- Strain from lifting heavy objects
- Standing for long periods of time
- Menopause
- Childbirth
- Constipation
Treatment:
Treatment methods for bladder prolapse differs from woman to woman and it depends on many factors. Factors like prolapse type, severity of the prolapse, age, health status, lifestyle, treatment preference, and wether or not you want to have a baby. However, they all boil down into two categories, surgical or non-surgical.
Since pelvic organ prolapse is not a life-threatening condition, we recommend to look into other treatment options before deciding on surgery. Surgery also does not guarantee long term effectiveness and may not be the most cost/time effective.
Non-surgical options includes Kegel exercise, pessary, and estrogen replacement therapy. Kegel exercises and estrogen replacement therapy are more suitable for mild cases or bladder prolapse. However, it may take long periods of time and commitment before seeing any results and not all women can intake estrogen (for example certain cancer patients). As for pessary, it has varying success rates, not all women can be fitted for a pessary, and it must be replaced often.
