CystocoeleA Cystocoele occurs when the wall between a woman's bladder and her vagina weakens and allows the bladder to droop into the vagina. In some women, a fallen bladder stretches the opening into the urethra, causing urine leakage when the woman coughs, sneezes, laughs, or moves in any way that puts pressure on the bladder. Cystocele disorder is the descent or bulging of the bladder into the upper two thirds of the anterior vaginal wall. If the front wall of the vagina (below the bladder) is prolapsing it is called a cystocoele (pronounced sisto-seal). A cystocoele may be associated with leaking of urine when coughing or laughing. A doctor may be able to diagnose a grade 2 or grade 3 cystocoele from a description of symptoms and from physical examination of the vagina because the fallen part of the bladder will be visible. A voiding cystourethrogram (sis-toe-yoo-REETH-roe-gram) is a test that involves taking x rays of the bladder during urination. If a cystocoele is not bothersome, the doctor may only recommend avoiding heavy lifting or straining that could cause the cystocoele to worsen. If symptoms are moderately bothersome, the doctor may recommend a pessary a device placed in the vagina to hold the bladder in place. Pessaries come in a variety of shapes and sizes to allow the doctor to find the most comfortable fit for the patient. This operation may be performed by a gynaecologist, a urologist, or a urogynaecologist. The patient should be prepared to stay in the hospital for several days and take 4 to 6 weeks to recover fully.
