Cystocele

Cystocele Prolapse Treatment in Jumeirah, Dubai

Anterior prolapse, also known as a cystocele, occurs when the supportive tissue between a woman’s bladder and vaginal wall weakens and stretches, allowing the bladder to bulge into the vagina. Anterior prolapse is also called a prolapsed bladder.

Cystocele is a previous prolapse, which is the vaginal wall and bladder supporting tissue weakens. The bladder then moves and protrudes to the vagina. The distention is due to both childbirth heavy coughing, distention and heavy lifting. Menopause can also cause the condition due to a reduced level of estrogen.

• Pressure in the vagina and pelvis
• Discomfort when you cough
• Feeling of the bladder is not empty after urinating

Causes of Cystocele

Ligaments, connective tissues and muscles make up the pelvic floor which offers support to the pelvic organs and the bladder. Weakening of the ligaments, muscles and connective tissues is a result of trauma during delivery and straining the muscles chronically. The named causes lead to the bladder slipping and protruding through the vagina.

Causes of a previous prolapse include:

• Bronchitis
• Chronic cough
• Bowel movements associated efforts
• Repeatedly lifting heavy objects
• Overweight or obesity
• Pregnancy
• Vaginal delivery
