Cystocoele Information
Cystocoele means descent or bulging of the bladder into the upper two thirds of the anterior vaginal wall. It denotes weakness in the investing fascia of the vagina.
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. It is the
Bulging of the bladder into the vagina.
A Cystocoele can occur by itself, or it may happen along with other abnormalities such as a rectocele (when the rectum protrudes into the vagina).

This condition may cause discomfort and problems with emptying the bladder.
The symptoms of cystocele depend on individual factors such as the severity of the condition, but can include:

- Inability to completely empty the bladder after going to the toilet.
- Recurring urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Urination problems, such as straining to get urine flow started or an unusually slow flow of urine that tends to stop and start.
- A sensation of fullness or pressure inside the vagina.
- A bulging mass felt on the front wall of the vagina.
- In severe cases, the vagina and the bladder protrude out of the vaginal entrance.
