When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffIn mild cases, a cystocele may not require medical attention. In fact, in such cases, you might not even know you have a cystocele.
In moderate and severe cases, however, prolapse can be bothersome, uncomfortable and, rarely, painful. It can make emptying your bladder difficult, and lead to bladder infections. Make an appointment with your doctor if you experience:
- A feeling of fullness or pressure in your pelvis and vagina, especially when you bear down
- A soft bulge that protrudes through your vaginal opening
- A feeling that you're unable to completely empty your bladder
- Urinary incontinence
- Repeated bladder infections
- Pain during sexual intercourse
