Cystocele, commonly known as bladder prolapse, occurs when the bladder descends from its normal position and bulges into the vaginal wall due to weakened pelvic floor support. It is commonly seen after childbirth, menopause, heavy lifting, chronic cough, or pelvic floor muscle weakness. Dr. Premkumar K, an expert in Female Urology & Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, provides precise evaluation and personalized treatment to restore pelvic support and improve quality of life.
Common Causes – Vaginal childbirth, aging, hormonal decline after menopause, chronic constipation, obesity, repeated heavy lifting, pelvic surgeries, and long-term increased abdominal pressure.
Symptoms – Feeling of vaginal bulge, pelvic pressure, difficulty emptying bladder, frequent UTIs, urinary leakage, back discomfort, and worsening symptoms during standing or physical activity.
Diagnostic Evaluation – Physical pelvic examination, pelvic floor assessment, ultrasound if required, bladder function tests, uroflowmetry, and cystoscopy in selected cases to evaluate severity.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation – Guided pelvic floor physiotherapy, Kegel exercises, and biofeedback therapy to strengthen pelvic muscles and reduce symptoms.
Pessary Support Device – A non-surgical option where a soft device is placed inside the vagina to support the bladder and relieve pressure symptoms.
Hormonal Therapy – Vaginal estrogen therapy for postmenopausal women to improve tissue strength and pelvic support.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Repair – Advanced reconstructive procedures including anterior vaginal wall repair, mesh-free pelvic support surgery, and laparoscopic/robotic prolapse correction for long-term stability in moderate to severe cases.
Post-Treatment Care – Guidance on lifestyle modification, pelvic strengthening, avoiding heavy lifting, and long-term pelvic support strategies for preventing recurrence.
