A rectocele is a medical condition where the rectum bulges into the back wall of the vagina. This occurs when the tissues and muscles that support the rectum weaken, often due to childbirth, aging, or chronic constipation. Symptoms may include difficulty with bowel movements, a feeling of pressure in the pelvic area, or discomfort during sexual intercourse. Treatment options for a rectocele can vary based on severity and symptoms. They may include pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle changes, or surgical procedures to repair the weakened tissue. Consulting a healthcare professional is essential for proper diagnosis and management.
