Large cystoceles can cause the bladder to overfill and allow small amounts of urine to leak. Leakage is most common during activity such as walking or bouts of coughing. A urethrocele usually occurs in conjunction with a cystocele. Both of these conditions result in, among other things, involuntary loss of urine, particularly when there is increased pressure in the abdomen, caused by walking, jumping, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or sudden movements. Rectoceles happen when the rectum bulges into or out of the vagina.
Rectoceles usually occur as a result of injuries sustained during childbirth.
With a weakened or bulging rectum, bowel movements become more difficult. An enterocele is the bulging of small intestines into the back wall of the vagina. Uterine prolapse occurs when the uterus falls or is displaced from its normal position. There are varying degrees of severity depending on the descent. This produces a general felling of heaviness and fullness, or a sense that the uterus is falling out.
