A cystocele is a medical condition where the bladder bulges into the front wall of the vagina due to weakened pelvic muscles and tissues. This can occur after childbirth, menopause, or heavy lifting, leading to discomfort and urinary issues. Symptoms may include a feeling of pressure in the pelvic area, difficulty emptying the bladder, or urinary incontinence. Treatment options for a cystocele vary based on severity and may include pelvic floor exercises, a pessary (a supportive device), or surgery. Maintaining pelvic health through exercises and lifestyle changes can help prevent or manage this condition effectively.
